North Korean official calls the FBI's attribution politically motivated as both sides dispute the scale of the breach The Federal Bureau of Investigation has attributed a large-scale hack targeting Binance to North Korea. Estimates of the stolen funds range from $6 billion to $6.3 billion depending on the source. If confirmed, the breach would rank among the largest crypto thefts ever recorded. Kim Yo Jong, a top official in Pyongyang and sister of leader Kim Jong Un, publicly denied any North Korean involvement. She characterized the FBI's attribution as a political maneuver rather than a factual finding.
