Biggest heist in history: FBI accuses DPRK of hacking Binance On October 29, hackers stole $6.3 billion from Binance, the world's largest crypto exchange. It became the biggest theft in history. It all took about 20 minutes. The money is withdrawn immediately using ten blockchains. On Saturday, the FBI officially named the culprit. This is the North Korean group Traderbog. According to the bureau, hackers transfer the stolen goods to Ethereum, and then presumably launder them using decentralized exchange services. The FBI published more than 600 Ethereum addresses, 19 Bitcoin wallets and one Solana address and asked market participants to block transfers from them. Understand the scale. In 2025, hackers linked to the DPRK, according to Chainate, stole about $2 billion for the entire year. And North Korea's military spending is estimated at $6 billion a year. That is, within 20 minutes Pyongyang could receive an amount equal to the annual military budget. CertiK analysts concluded that for the DPRK, cryptocurrency theft has long become one of the country's main sources of income. Binance says customers will not be harmed. The exchange has already returned 90% of the money stolen from its funds by purchasing additional tokens. About 3 billion were frozen along with other exchanges and partners. Trump is in no rush to agree with the FBI. At a Mar-a-Lago Halloween party, he said it was still unknown if it was North Korea, although he assumed it would be confirmed. The market was not happy with the news - Bitcoin fell below $77,000.
