North Korea Denies Accusations of Attack on Binance –<\/strong> North Korea has rejected claims by the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) that hackers linked to Pyongyang were behind the theft of cryptocurrency from the Binance exchange. Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, called the accusations a political provocation. Meanwhile, Binance is resuming withdrawals and says it has replenished most of the stolen assets from its own funds. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to North Korea’s state news agency KCNA, Kim Yo-jong described the American claims as “absurd rhetoric” and said Washington repeatedly links her country to cybercrime. In her view, the accusations demonstrate the hostile stance of the United States. She did not specify, however, what steps Pyongyang might take. The news was reported by Reuters<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of October, the FBI announced that North Korea was behind the theft of more than six billion dollars in digital assets from Binance. It attributed the attack to a group called TraderTraitor, which it described as a North Korean cyber threat. According to the FBI, the attackers converted the stolen assets mainly into ether and could have moved them further through decentralized finance services and exchange platforms. The agency also called on companies in the cryptocurrency industry to block transactions linked to the addresses the hackers are using. The FBI also published a list of these addresses.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pyongyang denies responsibility, but a denial alone is not evidence that refutes the investigators’ conclusions. Likewise, a public statement by the FBI is not a court ruling. In similar cyber attacks<\/a>, the origin is usually determined on the basis of technical analysis, the movement of stolen funds, and other intelligence information. This is therefore an attribution of the attack to a specific group by US authorities, which North Korea disputes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
