📰 North Korea rejects FBI allegations over Binance hack
On November 3, North Korean news agency KCNA published a statement by Kim Yo Jong: Pyongyang denies involvement in the theft of more than $6 billion in cryptocurrency and calls the U.S. allegations a political provocation.
The FBI previously linked the attack to the TraderTraitor group, which it attributes to North Korea. The denial itself does not disprove the investigation’s findings—the parties’ accounts remain diametrically opposed.
