The US Federal Bureau of Investigation ( The FBI has blamed North Korea for the cyberattack on the Binance cryptova peace platform, during which digital assets worth $6.3 billion were stolen.

The attack took place on October 29, 2026, and according to Binance’s co-director, Richard Teng, was a complex operation through which hackers managed to penetrate the hot wallets of the platform and absorb digital assets, transmit Telegrafi.

In a statement published on Saturday, The FBI has revealed that North Korea is behind the theft. The U.S. Agency identified cyber activity as part of a group of hackers, Trader Traitor.

According to the FBI, hackers have begun converting stolen assets into the Ethereum cryptova. US authorities expect these tools to be further cleaned up through decentralised finance platforms (DeFi) and instant exchange services of cryptova peaces.

According to the US Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency ( CISA), RIRT Traitor, is a group of hackers sponsored by the State of North Korea, which has been linked to thefts of cryptovalus and cyberattacks since 2020.

This group is believed to be part of the network, Lasarus, which American authorities have linked to attacks on blockchain and cryptova peace companies, via electronic fraud campaigns and malicious software.

After the attack, Banance announced the temporary suspension of deposits and withdrawals, while her teams conducted security checks, froze suspicious funds and collaborated with law enforcement agencies for the case’s investigation.

The company announced that it has already covered about 90 percent of the amount affected by the attack and that withdrawals are returning gradually. The remaining 10 percent consists of lower liquid land, which may take more time to buy.

In a video published on social networks, Tenng said the company is committed to covering all losses from its funds.

Your assets are safe, he said. /Telegraphy/
