Analysts attribute the roughly $6.3 billion Binance hack to North Korea's TraderTraitor

Most of the money was gone within roughly 20 minutes; the previous record was Bybit's $1.5 billion loss. Binance's initial findings suggest the attacker reached a service container from a compromised DevOps engineer's laptop and submitted unauthorized withdrawals. Blockchain analysts attribute the attack to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit. About $3 billion has been frozen, but the attackers still hold about $2.4 billion in ETH and BTC that no issuer can freeze.
