North Korea denied any involvement in the Binance hack and refused to engage in talks with Washington, according to Reuters. CoinDesk reported that the denial came after the FBI named TraderTraitor and made public wallet addresses controlled by North Korea; CoinDesk described it as the largest crypto theft in history.
When state-sponsored hacking operations are named, denial is usually the only kind of official response. This time, even the channel for dialogue was shut down, leaving less room for third-party investigation.
What can actually move this forward is on-chain data. Now that the FBI has published the addresses, whether the funds have moved, where they went, and whether exchanges are still blocking them will determine how much can ultimately be recovered. North Korea’s stance will have little effect on the outcome.
