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
BBC News and CNBC both frame the story through the Binance hack and what is known so far, with each treating it as a major crypto-security event. BBC News focuses on who could be behind it and the “what we know so far” angle, while CNBC broadens out to investor safety and how coin is guarded. CNBC alone in its extract calls it a $6.3 billion theft and an investor wake-up call.
