japan.hani.co.kr (Japanese) —

North Korean official Kim Yo-jong has denied U.S. accusations that North Korea was behind the hacking of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, calling the claims a "habitual provocation" by Washington. In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, Kim said the U.S. was misleading international opinion by linking North Korea to cyber fraud cases worldwide, describing it as a serious political provocation that damages the country's image and sovereignty. Kim also urged the international community to recall that the current U.S. administration announced plans to confiscate illegally stolen cryptocurrency assets as strategic reserves upon taking office last year.
