North Korea's Kim Yo Jong rejects FBI blame for $6 billion Binance hack

North Korea has brushed aside the FBI’s claim that its hackers stole more than $6 billion from Binance as “an absurd rhetoric and nothing new.” The remark was made by Kim Yo Jong, sister of leader Kim Jong Un and a department director of the Workers’ Party of Korea’s Central Committee, in a press statement issued on November 2. Kim Yo Jong calls the accusation a grave political provocation “The FBI is trying to brand the DPRK as a ‘cyber criminal state’, claiming that it obtained information that a hacking organization ‘supported’ by the DPRK was involved in the incident,” Kim said in the statement, carried by state news agency KCNA.
