North Korean hackers blamed for $6.3bn Binance breach

Original: 'Elite North Korean hackers' blamed for $6.3B Binance hack

The Binance cryptocurrency exchange has been hit by an attack reportedly worth $6.3bn, with elite North Korean hackers being blamed for the theft. The claim of state-sponsored involvement from North Korea is drawing widespread attention, given the scale of the loss and the country's known record of targeting crypto platforms to fund its regime.

Why now: The enormous scale of the alleged $6.3bn theft and the attribution to North Korean state-linked hackers make it a major breaking story in crypto and security circles.
