North Korea is a major actor in large-scale crypto thefts, as evidenced by the alleged $6 billion theft from Binance.

Some of the bigger blockchain analysis/forensic giants are reportedly saying around $6 billion was stolen in crypto from Binance, with North Korea as the main suspected culprit. The largest known crypto hack before Binance was $1.4 billion stolen from Bybit in 2025, was was blamed on North Korea. If North Korea stole *$6 billion* in crypto... that's a real problem. Here's my deep-dive explainer on why North Korea is a major crypto thief. https://this.weekinsecurity.com/thousands-of-north-koreans-have-secretly-infiltrated-us-and-european-companies-as-remote-it-workers/

The binance hack is for more than $6 billion, people at TRM Labs and Chainalysis (big blockchain analysis companies) tell me. Far and away the biggest crypto theft in history. TRM saying it's North Korea. Others in the space who aren't saying that are also working w that assumption.
