Trump: Investigating Whether Binance Hack Was North Korea's Work

October 31 — According to Bloomberg, US President Trump said he is monitoring the Binance theft incident. Asked whether the attack was carried out by North Korea, Trump said "We don't know" and "We're investigating it," adding that Binance says the situation is under control. Blockchain analytics firms including Chainalysis and TRM Labs had previously attributed the roughly $6.3 billion attack to North Korea-linked hacking group TraderTraitor; the US government has not yet made a formal attribution.
