North Korean Hackers Took $7.61 Billion in 2026 Without Breaking Any Code
BitOK estimates North Korean hackers stole $7.61 billion in crypto across 38 incidents from January to October 2026, with Binance alone accounting for $6.41 billion. Attackers mostly compromised withdrawal-signing systems rather than exploiting code. Only $2.86 billion was frozen or seized, leaving $4.75 billion beyond reach, which underscores heavy security risk for traders.
