Kim Yo Jong Denies FBI Claim That North Korea Stole More Than $6 Billion From Binance

Kim Yo Jong denied North Korea's role in the more than $6 billion Binance hack, directly challenging the FBI's accusation that a North Korea-backed group carried it out. Kim, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and a Workers' Party Central Committee department director, made the denial in a statement on Nov. 2. She described the FBI's attribution as a serious political provocation and accused Washington of trying to portray North Korea as a cybercrime state. The FBI said the theft happened around Oct. 29 and identified the activity as TraderTraitor.
