🚨 US AUTHORITIES SEIZE OVER $1.2 BILLION LINKED TO BINANCE HACK!
The US Justice Department has reportedly seized more than $1.2B in crypto linked to North Korean hackers behind the $6.3B Binance exploit.
Authorities say roughly half of the stolen funds are now frozen.
The FBI also disrupted FaceStealer, a North Korean operation that reportedly stole over $400M in crypto within 18 months.
The hackers used AI deepfakes, fake video calls and recordings of trusted contacts to trick victims.
Even more alarming:
• Over 900 victim videos were seized.
• Some attackers waited months or even a year before stealing funds.
• Developers and crypto holders remain potential targets.
⚠️ Frozen assets are not the same as recovered funds returned to victims.
Could this become one of the largest crypto asset recovery efforts in history?
