SUMMARY

Hackers linked to an elite North Korean group allegedly stole over $6.3bn in cryptocurrency from Binance in a roughly 20-minute exploit, blockchain tracker TRM Labs said. Binance froze more than $3bn after detecting the breach, and the company says user assets are protected and losses will be covered while it works with law enforcement.
