North Korean hackers stole approximately $6.36 billion from Binance in what blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs described as the largest cryptocurrency theft on record, attributing the attack to the state-sponsored group TraderTraitor.
The funds moved across 10 blockchains beginning at 20:05 UTC on October 29, with most transfers occurring within 20 minutes.
TRM Labs said the attack bore similarities to previous North Korean-linked operations, including the February 2025 Bybit hack.
Tether, Circle, Ripple, World Liberty Financial and Arbitrum’s Security Council have frozen approximately $2.7 billion in assets, while an estimated $2.4 billion remains beyond their reach.
