North Korea Steals USD 6.36 Billion From Binance in the Largest Hack in History | TRM Labs
On October 29, 2026, an attacker moved about $6.36 billion out of Binance wallets across ten blockchains, the largest crypto theft on record, and TRM attributes it to North Korea’s TraderTraitor, with evidence pointing to a compromise of Binance’s hot wallet signing infrastructure. About $2.7 billion has been frozen, but the attacker still holds roughly $2.4 billion, and TRM is tracking the funds and alerting partners through the Beacon Network.
