North Korean authorities have called the FBI's statement about the country's involvement in the Binance hack a "provocation" and "baseless nonsense." Accusations of the DPRK by the United States for stealing $6.3 billion from the Binance crypto exchange are a provocation, said Kim Yoo-jung, deputy head of the department of the Central Committee of the Workers' Party of Korea, KCNA reports. "The fact that the US misleads international public opinion by presenting all the cyber fraud cases occurring in the world as the work of our hands is a clear and serious political provocation against us," Kim emphasized. She also hinted at the responsibility of the United States itself, citing the government's announced confiscation of stolen cryptocurrency assets into the country's strategic reserve. According to her, due to the hostile position of the United States, Pyongyang will probably "have to reconsider a number of issues in different aspects." Earlier, the US bureau accused the DPRK hacker group TraderTraitor of attacking the Binance crypto exchange on October 30 and stealing $6.3 billion. Donald Trump said there was no accurate information about Pyongyang's involvement. According to preliminary data, the breach occurred due to a data leak from the laptop of one of the DevOps engineers.
