The hackers of Kim Jong-un behind the largest cryptocurrency theft in history

In a record heist, hackers stole $6.3 billion from Binance in just 20 minutes, linked to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit. The FBI confirmed the group's involvement, which has been responsible for multiple cyberattacks to fund Kim Jong-un's nuclear ambitions. Despite international sanctions, North Korea has developed a lucrative cybercrime industry, with an estimated 8,400 hackers. The stolen funds are often laundered through decentralized financial services, complicating recovery efforts. Experts warn that North Korea will continue exploiting cryptocurrency vulnerabilities to finance its military programs, as traditional banking defenses are less effective against these cyber threats.
