“FBI”: North Korea Is Responsible for Stealing More Than $6 Billion from “Binance”

Al-Taj News – The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) accused North Korea on Saturday of being responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion in digital assets from the cryptocurrency exchange platform “Binance”.

The bureau said that malicious actors from North Korea were detected working to conceal the origin of the stolen assets by converting them into the Ethereum currency, adding that it expects these assets to undergo additional stages of money laundering.

The cryptocurrency trading platform “Binance” had announced on Friday that it is working to address the repercussions of a “sophisticated attack” that affected assets worth approximately $6.3 billion and involved multiple “points of compromise”.
