North Korean cyber program faces renewed scrutiny after Binance theft

The FBI attributes the Binance theft to North Korea-linked TraderTraitor, while Pyongyang denies responsibility and Trump has questioned the attribution. Elliptic says suspected hackers routed about $430,000 through short-lived NEAR meme tokens and liquidity pools, a small share of the reported theft; the method complicates tracing but does not erase the public trail or independently prove attribution.
