У ФБР розкрили, хто стоїть за найбільшою крадіжкою криптовалюти з Binance
What happened
The FBI has blamed North Korean hackers for the theft of more than $6 billion in cryptocurrency from the Binance exchange, the largest such theft on record.
According to the bureau, the attack was carried out on 29 October by a North Korean group called TraderTraitor.
The FBI said the thieves are already converting the stolen funds mostly into Ethereum and plan to launder them through decentralised finance services and exchangers.
Binance put the loss at about $6.3 billion and said it would cover all losses itself; around $3 billion of the stolen assets was frozen, according to UNIAN.
Analytics firm TRM Labs said before the FBI statement that it was "fairly sure" TraderTraitor was behind the attack, citing features matching earlier North Korean thefts, Tagesschau reported.
Binance has begun resuming withdrawals in stages, starting with Bitcoin, Ether and Dogecoin, the company said on X.
