What happened
The FBI attributes the roughly $6.3 billion (its own statement says more than $6 billion) theft of virtual assets from Binance on October 29th to North Korea, which it labels TraderTraitor. Observed actors tied to the intrusion were converting the stolen tokens to Ethereum and preparing to launder the proceeds. The articles include no CVEs, technical indicators or specific remediation guidance, and the FBI has released little supporting evidence.
