North Korea denies any connection to the 6.3 billion dollars stolen from Binance
North Korea dismissed allegations linking it to a $6.3 billion hack on Binance, calling them baseless. Kim Yo-jong criticized the U.S. for attempting to tarnish North Korea's reputation. The FBI attributes the hack to the state-sponsored TraderTraitor group, urging the industry to prevent transactions related to them. Binance reported that a hacker accessed the exchange through a compromised engineer's laptop, leading to a temporary suspension of transactions. Following the incident, Binance has since resumed trading and promised to reimburse losses, recovering about 95% of the stolen assets.
