FBI Officially Blames North Korea for $6.3B Binance Hack

The U.S. FBI has formally identified North Korea as responsible for the theft of over $6 billion in cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest exchange, marking the first official U.S. attribution of the attack. Yonhap reports the FBI stated North Korea was behind the theft of more than $6 billion, while other outlets cite figures of $6.36 billion (about 8.4 trillion won) and note the FBI observed conversion to Ethereum. The FBI and U.S. Secret Service have launched an investigation, and blockchain analysis firms like TRM Labs and Chainalysis had earlier pointed to North Korean hackers, with the FBI naming the elite 'TraderTraitor' group. Korean media, including Chosun Ilbo and Donga Ilbo, are covering the unprecedented scale and the official U.S. confirmation, with President Trump saying Washington is verifying North Korean involvement.
