Who on Earth can truly defeat North Korean hackers? China or the United States? The answer is brutal: neither. Why? The US is technologically the strongest. The FBI and NSA can indeed seize their servers and prosecute their members. But North Korean hackers are supported by the state apparatus, operating in the shadows, regardless of cost. You shut down one batch, they replace it with another; it's an asymmetrical war of attrition. China has the capability, but lacks the motivation. Expecting China to help Binance arrest North Korean hackers is not in line with geopolitical realities. The real line of defense isn't between nations, but between private companies. The South Korean security company Genians discovered Kimsuky's AI arsenal. Blockaid reconstructed the details of Binance's $5.8 billion theft. Chainalysis traced money laundering. This is a war without superheroes.
