The FBI says North Korean hackers were behind a $6.3 billion cryptocurrency theft from Binance on October 29, 2026, and that the activity was labeled "TraderTraitor." The bureau said it observed actors tied to the hack converting the stolen tokens to Ethereum and preparing to launder the funds, but it offered few other details or public evidence with its statement. The agency's attribution is the first official account of who carried out the heist. Binance has since resumed withdrawals, according to TechCrunch. The exchange said it has now covered 95% of the stolen assets.
