🚨 Another major security story has emerged in the crypto industry.
On November 12, the U.S. Department of Justice announced that, in connection with a crypto asset theft involving Binance and more than $6 billion, U.S. authorities had obtained court authorization to seize or restrict the disposition of more than $1.2 billion in related assets.
The U.S. government and private sector have now frozen more than $2.7 billion in related assets in total.
U.S. authorities have attributed the incident to the North Korea-linked hacking group TraderTraitor.
But here’s an important detail: freezing or seizing assets does not mean all the funds have been recovered and returned to victims. Further legal proceedings will determine who owns them.
This incident is another reminder: sometimes the biggest risk in the crypto industry isn’t a market crash, but the security of your accounts and funds.
