Hacking of the Binance crypto exchange linked to North Korean hackers According to the BBC, two analytical companies have linked the hacking of the Binance crypto exchange, which is already known as the biggest hacker attack in history, with the North Korean group Traderbog. Artificial intelligence research firm TRM Labs said in its report that some elements of the Binance attack are reminiscent of previous incidents linked to North Korea, including the Babybit 2025 hack that cost $1.5 billion in damage. The lab's head of global policy, Ari Radburd, said the attackers are still in possession of a huge amount of stolen funds, meaning efforts to locate and recover the money are far from complete. Another cryptoanalytics firm, Chain, also said it had "high confidence" that a North Korean group was involved in the hack. Binance did not directly respond to BBC inquiries about the possible North Korean connection, but said: "We are working closely with our law enforcement partners to confirm the identities of these criminals and bring them to justice." Earlier, the crypto exchange confirmed the attack that took place on the night of October 30. The estimated damage amounted to 6.3 billion dollars. The exchange temporarily stopped all user operations for depositing and withdrawing funds.
