The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has linked a massive cryptocurrency theft to North Korea. Authorities say the hack resulted in the loss of more than six billion dollars from the Binance exchange. The investigation identifies a group called TraderTraitor as the perpetrators. TraderTraitor is described as an elite unit of hackers operating under North Korean direction. According to the FBI, the stolen digital assets were converted on the Ethereum blockchain. The conversion step allowed the thieves to move the funds into other forms of crypto. The case highlights the vulnerability of major crypto platforms to state‑backed cyber operations.
