🚨 FBI blames North Korea for record $6.3B Binance hack
The FBI has officially attributed a massive $6.3 billion cryptocurrency theft from Binance to North Korea. The hack, which occurred this past Thursday, is linked to a malicious cyber group the agency identifies as TraderTraitor.
Investigators report that the hackers are currently converting the stolen digital assets primarily into Ether (ETH). The FBI warns that the group is moving into advanced laundering stages, utilizing DeFi protocols and instant swap services to hide the trail of the funds.
Private sector entities, including THORNode operators, RPC node operators, and blockchain analytics firms, have been urged to block transactions linked to a specific list of addresses. This record-breaking theft highlights a growing trend where the North Korean regime uses crypto exploits to fund its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
