North Korea says it wasn't behind the $6.3 billion Binance hack and claims the US blames it for "all the cyber crimes"

North Korea denied FBI allegations it was behind a $6.3 billion Binance hack, calling it a 'grave political provocation.' Kim Yo-jong claimed the US falsely attributes all global cybercrimes to North Korea and suggested the Trump administration's cryptocurrency confiscation plans could reveal the true perpetrators. Binance discovered unauthorized withdrawals on October 29, initially suspended withdrawals, froze $3 billion in assets, and began restoring withdrawals on November 1 with $3.64 billion outflow in 10 hours.
