GoKawiilNorth Korean hackers linked to $6.3B theft from Binance crypto exchange
Security researchers have attributed a record-breaking crypto heist at Binance to hackers tied to North Korea, with at least $6.3 billion stolen from the exchange's wallets. Binance says roughly half of the stolen funds were frozen as they moved across blockchains, and the company has suspended all deposits and withdrawals while it investigates. Binance said the breach began when attackers compromised an engineer's laptop, gaining access to a service container to submit unauthorized withdrawal transactions, though it says there is no evidence its private keys were exposed.
