Add StudioX as a preferred source on GoogleThe U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation is attributing the theft of $6.3 billion from the Binance cryptocurrency exchange to hackers from North Korea, according to NPR World.
What the FBI is saying
NPR reported the attribution on November 2, 2026, in a segment heard on Morning Edition. The FBI links the theft of the $6.3 billion directly to North Korean hackers.
The figure makes this a theft of enormous scale from one of the cryptocurrency exchanges named in the report. The summary from NPR does not detail how the theft was carried out.
North Korea’s cyber force
NPR notes that North Korea has prioritized cyber operations and has built a formidable cyber force. The FBI’s attribution places the Binance theft within that broader context.
The FBI’s finding is an attribution by a law enforcement agency. It is not a court ruling.
