North Korea ate the dog in crypto exchanges: How North Korean hackers are recruited The US FBI blamed the hack of the Binance crypto exchange that occurred on October 29 on North Korea. According to experts, the attack is attributed to the North Korean hacker group Traderbog. The whole operation took 20 minutes - in that short time they managed to steal digital assets worth 6.36 billion dollars. The incident was the largest cryptocurrency heist in history, surpassing the 2025 Baybit hack by $1.5 billion. MK asked the white hacker Anton Butcherb how the exchange was hacked, and also why the scope of the event should not create the illusion that this was possible only because of Binance's negligence.
