Hackerangriff: Kryptobörse Binance nimmt nach Milliarden-Raub Auszahlungen wieder auf
Die erste Phase soll noch am Sonntag beginnen und unter anderem Bitcoin, Ether und Dogecoin umfassen. Das FBI macht Nordkorea für den weltweit größten digitalen Raub verantwortlich.
The world's largest cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, plans to gradually resume withdrawals following a record theft of digital assets worth $6.3 billion. The first phase is set to begin this Sunday, with withdrawals of Bitcoin, Ether, and Dogecoin among others, according to the company's announcement on the X social media platform.
Binance has covered 95% of the stolen sum, while the remaining five% consists of less liquid assets, which may take longer to replace. Internally, Binance allocated approximately $6.34 billion of its own funds to cover the losses. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States holds North Korea responsible for the largest digital heist in history.
The bureau stated on Saturday evening that a state-sponsored North Korean hacker group called "TraderTraitor" was behind the cyberattack. Investigators observed the group converting the stolen assets into the cryptocurrency Ether. The FBI anticipates further money laundering activities. North Korea initially refrained from issuing a statement, as the country has consistently denied allegations of using state cyber units for espionage or financial theft.
