Kim Yo-jong, the North Korean leader’s sister, denied that North Korea was behind the record $6.3 billion hack of the Binance exchange and called the accusation “absurd rhetoric.” The FBI, the Secret Service and US cyber analysts say North Korea orchestrated the attack and describe it as the largest in history.
According to Reuters, in a text republished by Internazionale, the statement was carried by the state-run KCNA agency, and Kim said there was no need to sit down with “such unreliable and hostile persons,” while Elliptic counted about $2.85 billion frozen or seized from funds that moved through roughly 12,000 wallets and 40,000 transactions across 11 blockchains.
