  "account": "North Korea has denounced the FBI's allegations that Pyongyang was responsible for the theft of US$6 billion from cryptocurrency platform Binance. Kim Yo Jong, the sister of North Korea's leader Kim Jong Un, stated that the FBI's claim was a \"grave political provocation\" against the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK). The FBI has accused an alleged North Korean hacking group called TraderTraitor of carrying out the Binance hack. This group is also responsible for a previous $1.5 billion theft from the Bybit platform in February. North Korea's statement described the FBI's allegations as a \"sinister attempt\" to damage the country's international image and undermine its dignity. The FBI's accusations come amid ongoing tensions between the US and North Korea, with US President Donald Trump expressing doubts about North Korea's involvement in the Binance hack.",
  "summary": "A North Korea-affiliated hacking group called TraderTraitor was said to be behind the theft of US$6 billion from a cryptocurrency platform.",
