US AUTHORITIES MOVE TO SEIZE $1.2 BILLION FROM BINANCE HACK!
The US Department of Justice has reportedly secured court authorization to seize or freeze over $1.2B linked to last month's $6.3B Binance hack.
The attack was attributed to North Korea's TraderTraitor group.
Authorities also reportedly dismantled the infrastructure behind "FaceStealer," an operation linked to over $400M in crypto theft across 18 months.
The hackers allegedly used:
• Fake Zoom and Microsoft Teams meetings
• AI deepfakes and stolen accounts
• Malware disguised as legitimate software
The FBI also warned that North Korean hackers are increasingly targeting open-source developers, including NPM and Rust package maintainers.
⚠️ Important: Assets frozen or authorized for seizure are not necessarily recovered or returned to victims.
Could this be a major breakthrough in the Binance hack investigation?
