The agency attributes the theft to TraderTraitor, a North Korean hacking group. Pyongyang disputes that conclusion but has not presented technical evidence identifying another perpetrator. Pyongyang has responded directly to the American investigation. On October 30, Cointribune had already reported new evidence linking the Binance hack to North Korean hackers . This time, the response comes from Kim Yo-jong herself. In a statement carried by the Korean Central News Agency, the influential sister of Kim Jong-un accused Washington of trying to portray North Korea as a state involved in international cybercrime.
