FBI Blames North Korea for Record Binance Crypto Theft

The U.S. FBI has officially blamed North Korea for the theft of over $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest exchange, around October 29. Yonhap reports the FBI said North Korea was responsible for more than $6 billion stolen, while TRM Labs, a U.S. blockchain analysis firm, estimated the attack moved approximately $6.36 billion out of Binance wallets. This marks the first time Washington has formally named North Korea as the culprit, according to Dong-A Ilbo, which also noted the FBI observed the stolen assets being converted to Ethereum. President Donald Trump said the U.S. is verifying North Korean involvement, per KBS World. Korean media, including Hankyung and Dong-A Ilbo, are highlighting the scale—roughly 8 trillion won—and the FBI's official designation, with Dong-A Ilbo noting this is a first for the U.S. government.
