[DEVELOPING] Binance reports about $6.3B stolen, largest crypto theft on record; TRM points to North Korea
Al Jazeera reported that Binance disclosed about $6.3B in user funds affected. Early findings point to a compromised engineer's laptop. About $3B has been frozen, and TRM attributed the attack with 'high confidence' to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit. Binance halted deposits and withdrawals and pledged to absorb all losses, and Bitcoin fell about 5% to below $77,000. What to watch: the promised technical post-mortem, and whether the incident adds to the risk-off tone across tech and cyber-exposed names.
