FBI officially names North Korea responsible for the $6.3B Binance hack.
WASHINGTON — The FBI and international analysts have officially accused North Korea’s elite hacker group (Lazarus / TraderTraitor) of executing the largest heist in human history.
In just 20 minutes, the attackers compromised Binance's transaction-signing infrastructure, exfiltrating $6.36 billion across 10 blockchain networks. Intelligence agencies warn of a global threat: these funds will directly finance Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programs, bypassing international sanctions. While part of the assets has been frozen, over $2.4 billion is already being laundered through decentralized mixers, leaving the market in a state of shock.
