🚨 FBI confirms: North Korea was behind the biggest cryptocurrency theft in history
The FBI has officially blamed North Korean hackers from the TraderTraitor group for the Binance hack and the theft of $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency.
According to the FBI, the hackers have already begun converting the stolen assets into Ethereum and may use cryptocurrency exchanges to launder the funds. The agency has urged crypto platforms to block transactions linked to the hackers.
Donald Trump, however, questioned whether North Korea, led by his old buddy Kim Jong Un, was behind the attack.
“We don't know. We're investigating it,” Trump said.
🚨 BREAKING: The biggest cryptocurrency heist in history has hit Binance! The total losses are estimated at around $6.3 billion
So far, about $3 billion in stolen assets has been located. The exchange has provided no information on the whereabouts of the remaining $3.3 billion, Reuters reports.
Everything is going to hell: Bitcoin has plunged, and Ethereum has also dropped in value.
The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange said it was working with partners to freeze the affected assets.
According to preliminary reports, hackers may have gained access by compromising one of the engineers' laptops.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:
To simplify matters, let me use a comparison.
Imagine a situation in which a thief snatches an elderly woman's handbag and runs away.
When he is caught, he starts screaming that violence is being used against him and calls it theft when someone tries to take back his loot.
Meanwhile, some bystanders, the so-called both-sides people, propose that, to calm things down, the thief and the victim should divide the contents of the handbag equally.

Polish PM Donald Tusk:
For years, there have been organizations and politicians in Poland who want to destroy democracy and the rule of law.
And it is no coincidence that they find support among pro-Russian forces around the world.
And today, in this conflict, they are benefiting from the support of an army of Russian bots on the internet.
They have even received public compliments from the Kremlin's chief ideologue.

Trump’s conflict with Iran has turned out to be a real gift for US oil companies!
According to The New York Times, oil and gas giants have raked in more than $130 billion over the past six months — almost three times as much as a year earlier! Now there's a group that definitely doesn't regret backing Trump in the election.
Ordinary Americans, meanwhile, have paid nearly $148 billion extra for fuel because of the war. According to calculations by Brown University, the average household has paid over $1,000 more.
And we'll find out what American voters make of all this on November 3, when the country holds its midterm congressional elections.
