North Korea denies any involvement in the $6.3 billion hack attack on Binance
North Korea denied allegations linking its hackers to the record $6.3 billion hack of Binance. Kim Yo-jong, sister of leader Kim Jong-un, dismissed the claims as absurd and accused the U.S. of attempting to tarnish North Korea's international reputation. The FBI and cybersecurity analysts attribute the attack to North Korea's state-sponsored TraderTraitor hacker group. Despite North Korea's consistent denials, it has been linked to numerous cyberattacks in recent years. The hack resulted in billions being withdrawn from Binance, which has pledged to cover losses from the incident.
