Binance Resumes Withdrawals After $6.3B Hack Linked to North Korea Binance, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, has resumed customer withdrawals following a record $6.3 billion hack attributed to North Korea's TraderTraitor group. The breach, involving a compromised laptop and malicious software, led Binance to freeze withdrawals temporarily. The company has replenished 90% of the stolen amount using its $1 billion secure asset fund and other reserves, ensuring users are not financially impacted. The FBI confirmed North Korea's involvement, highlighting concerns over AI's potential to compromise security. The hack caused significant market fluctuations, with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Binance's BNB experiencing notable declines.
