The blockchain analytics firms TRM Labs and Chainalysis link the theft of about 6.3 billion US dollars from Binance to North Korea's Lazarus group, also known as TraderTraitor. TRM Labs says most of the funds were moved out within about 20 minutes, and Chainalysis says it has high confidence in its assessment. The FBI is involved in the investigation but has not itself attributed the attack, and Binance has not commented on the attribution.
