The United States urged governments to cooperate against North Korea’s illicit cyber activities after the FBI and blockchain intelligence firm TRM Labs attributed the Binance theft to North Korean actors. TRM Labs estimated that approximately $6.36 billion in digital assets left Binance wallets across ten blockchains on October 29, 2026, with most funds moving within a 20-minute period beginning at 20:05 UTC. A State Department spokesperson told Yonhap News Agency that governments should help mitigate the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s cyber threat and curb illicit revenue generation. Washington also called for enforcement of existing U.N. sanctions, measures to block revenue supporting North Korea’s unlawful weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs, and coordinated unilateral sanctions. South Korea had not decided on additional measures, although its foreign ministry was reviewing possible unilateral cyber sanctions. The Federal Reserve and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency also contacted U.S. banks about unusual transactions, service disruptions and potential security weaknesses linked to the attack.
