The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, has been hit by cyberattacks, with hackers withdrawing assets worth $6.3 billion. The largest hack in the history of the cryptocurrency market is attributed to the elite North Korean group TraderTraitor, which operates with the support of the North Korean government.

According to researchers, the attack is linked to the elite hacking group TraderTraitor, controlled by Pyongyang.

Experts express a high degree of confidence in these findings, based on a combination of on-chain and off-chain data.

"TRM attributes the attack to TraderTraitor, an elite North Korean hacking unit, based on reliable intelligence both on and off the network. We make this decision with high confidence," the report says.
