North Korea rejects Binance hack claims, rules out US dialogue

–

Neutral summary

North Korea has rejected US allegations that it was behind the hack of cryptocurrency exchange Binance, calling them a “political provocation” and “absurd rhetoric.” Kim Yo Jong, the influential sister of leader Kim Jong Un, said Pyongyang sees “no need” to sit down with Washington unless it abandons its “hostile policy.” She also warned of stronger retaliation if the US continues its actions. The FBI had attributed the theft of $6.3 billion in cryptocurrency to the North Korean-linked group TraderTraitor. In response to the accusations, North Korea launched multiple missiles toward the sea, raising regional tensions. Analysts say the developments have all but killed the chances of another Kim-Trump summit, despite the US president’s earlier openness to meeting. Sources differ in emphasis: some note Pyongyang called the accusations “trite,” while others report it urged a reconsideration of the “true nature” of the US.
