hindustantimes.com —

North Korea on Tuesday dismissed US allegations that it was behind the $6.3 billion cryptocurrency theft from Binance, calling them "absurd rhetoric" and a political provocation, according to state media. The FBI claimed over the weekend that North Korea was responsible for the heist, potentially the largest financial theft ever. Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un, rejected the accusation as a grave provocation. Kim accused Washington of branding North Korea a "cyber criminal state" and misleading global opinion by blaming it for cybercrimes worldwide. The FBI has not yet released detailed evidence supporting its claim.
