🇺🇸🇰🇵 BREAKING! FBI blames North Korea for the $6.3 billion Binance hack, the biggest crypto heist in history
The FBI says North Korean hacking unit TraderTraitor was behind the attack, and is asking crypto services to block any transactions tied to the stolen funds.
Binance announced the breach on Friday. According to blockchain firm TRM, around $6.36 billion was drained from Binance's hot wallets across ten blockchains, most of it within about 20 minutes. Binance says roughly $3 billion has been frozen, and it has set aside more than $6.3 billion to cover user losses.
That's more than four times the previous record, the $1.5 billion Bybit hack in February 2025, which the FBI also blamed on North Korea.
