North Korea vehemently protested the United States' investigation into alleged cryptocurrency theft, calling it a severe political provocation. Kim Yo-jong, the sister of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, criticized the FBI's findings in a dispatch from the Korean Central News Agency. The FBI accused the regime of stealing over US$6 billion worth of cryptocurrency from Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange.
Kim accused the U.S. of attempting to label North Korea as a "cyber criminal state" based on information suggesting a hacking organization supported by Pyongyang was involved. She emphasized that the U.S. was misleading international public opinion by attributing all cyber crimes to North Korea.
