Donald Trump
This was reported online by the White House Rapid Response Service.
According to the US leader, the US is not certain that the attack originated specifically from North Korea.
“We are currently looking into this. We do not know whether this is linked to North Korea, but if it is, we will discuss the matter with North Korea,” said Trump, responding to a question from journalists.
Cyberattack on Binance
The day before, the Federal Bureau of Investigation accused North Korean hackers of attacking the Binance cryptocurrency exchange, which led to more than six billion dollars being withdrawn from the platform.
The exchange was attacked on 29 October – cryptocurrency worth nearly $3 billion was initially withdrawn from Binance’s hot wallets.
It is worth noting that analysts at TRM Labs had also claimed that North Korean hackers were involved in the attack on the exchange, as we previously reported. A North Korean hacker group known as TraderTraitor is suspected of stealing assets from Binance.
It is now expected that the hackers will launder the money using various virtual platforms.
