North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, has condemned the FBI’s investigation into the $6.3 billion Binance cryptocurrency theft, calling it a “political provocation”. She said Pyongyang was closely monitoring the situation. Earlier, North Korea’s state-run KCNA dismissed allegations linking the country to the theft as a fabrication. The FBI attributed the 29 October attack to TraderTraitor, a North Korean hacking group, and said the stolen assets were being converted mainly into Ethereum. The breach is considered the largest cryptocurrency theft on record.
