North Korea denies being behind record $6.3bn Binance hack
US government agencies and cyber analysts have blamed Pyongyang for the record-breaking heist.
What the coverage shows
Across the coverage, outlets converge on Binance saying about $6.3 billion was affected and on the breach being framed as the biggest crypto theft or hack on record. Many also mention North Korea as the suspected culprit, especially BBC News, NPR, Bloomberg Technology and CBS News, while CNBC and Bloomberg foreground Binance saying losses will be covered and some funds frozen. The main divergence is emphasis: BleepingComputer focuses on an investigation and possible amount, while TechCrunch and Tom's Hardware lead with withdrawal freezes and uncertainty around the scale.
