The shock of stealing $6 billion from Binance; FBI Follows the Case of Pyongyang Hackers In the wake of the largest theft in the history of digital markets and the seizure of more than $6 billion in Binance exchange assets, US security agencies, including the FBI, along with blockchain analytics giants, have entered a vital race against time to prevent these astronomical assets from disappearing into underground money laundering networks. Bloomberg and CNBC announced in separate reports that law enforcement and international security agencies, including the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), have launched a massive operation to capture hackers who drained more than $6 billion of Binance exchange assets in a digital bloodbath; an unprecedented event that rocked the global cryptocurrency market and what experts consider the largest cyber theft on record. According to Bloomberg's report and based on statements from experts who sat down with CNBC, surveillance agencies have now entered a full-fledged "cat and mouse game" with hackers attributed to North Korea. In this operation, the attackers used a lethal combination of blockchain obfuscation techniques and the capabilities of international money laundering networks to convert the stolen cryptocurrencies into fiat currencies (official currencies such as dollars) and disappear before they are found. Report details.
