Blockchain intelligence firms link North Korea to $6.3B hack on Binance

U.S.-based blockchain intelligence firm TRM said a North Korea hacking unit was likely behind the theft of more than $6 billion on the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance.

Binance said late on Thursday that approximately $6.3 billion was impacted, which its founder described as “like a hack.”

The company said it worked with blockchain partners to freeze affected assets, and roughly $3 billion was frozen.
