The FBI has accused North Korea of orchestrating the theft of more than $6 billion in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

The FBI has formally accused North Korea of being responsible for stealing over $6 billion in virtual assets from the cryptocurrency exchange Binance. This represents one of the largest cyber heists targeting digital currency platforms to date.

The announcement comes from ABS-CBN News, citing information from ANC 24/7. The theft highlights the increasing sophistication of state-sponsored cyber operations targeting cryptocurrency exchanges and digital financial infrastructure.

North Korea has been increasingly linked to cyber attacks and cryptocurrency thefts, with many experts suggesting these activities fund the country's nuclear weapons program. The stolen virtual assets could potentially be used to circumvent international sanctions.
