NEW: The FBI says the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange Binance on or around October 29. The FBI attributed the attack to a DPRK-related cyber operation known as "Traderbogd" and said the stolen assets are mostly converted to Ethereum before further laundering through DeFi and instant exchange services. US authorities are urging cryptocurrency platforms, blockchain analytics companies and other virtual asset providers to block transactions linked to addresses used to launder the stolen funds.
