Trump disputes FBI claim that North Korea hacked Binance

news.mail.ru (Russian) —

US President Donald Trump has questioned the FBI's conclusion that a North Korean hacking group was behind the breach of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, stating Washington is still investigating the attack that caused $6.3 billion in damages. Trump said the US does not yet know if North Korea is involved, but would discuss the matter with Pyongyang if confirmed. The FBI had attributed the hack to the TraderTraitor group, publishing over 600 wallet addresses linked to the hackers without providing evidence. Trump is currently seeking to improve ties with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, calling him a friend and previously reducing military exercises with South Korea due to their "very good relationship."
