North Korea denies role in $6.3B Binance hack, points finger at US

Pyongyang has pushed back against the FBI’s attribution of the Binance attack, with Kim Yo Jong calling the US allegations politically motivated. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, denied North Korea’s involvement in the $6.3 billion Binance hack and appeared to suggest, without evidence, that the US could have been behind the theft. In a statement released via the Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) on Tuesday, Kim rejected the FBI’s attribution of the attack to a North Korean-backed hacking group.
