North Korea has finally spoken out, and it was Kim Jong-un's sister, Kim Yo-jong, who stepped forward: the more than $6 billion stolen from Binance has nothing to do with North Korea. She issued a statement through the official North Korean news agency KCNA, calling the FBI's attribution of the attack to North Korea "absurd" and a "serious political provocation." Background: In the early hours of October 30th, hot wallets on nine Binance blockchains were simultaneously compromised, resulting in the theft of over $6 billion—more than four times the $1.5 billion stolen from Bybit last year. On October 31st, the FBI publicly named the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor as the perpetrator. Trump also stated that if North Korea was confirmed to be responsible, the US would intervene. Just days after being named, North Korea responded. And it wasn't just any spokesperson who responded; it was Kim Yo-jong. Her involvement speaks volumes. However, the money on the blockchain continued to flow. Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic updated its data on November 2nd: the stolen funds have been distributed into approximately 12,000 wallets, spanning 11 blockchains, and transferred in over 40,000 transactions. Approximately $2.85 billion has been frozen or seized, representing 44% of the total. Of this, approximately $16 million flowed into addresses linked to the previously stolen funds from Bitget. Denyations aside, the money is still being transferred.
