> Kim Yo Jong condemned the United States for linking a recent multibillion-dollar cryptocurrency theft at Binance to a hacking group allegedly backed by North Korea. She called the claim an effort to label her country a “cyber criminal state” and a political provocation and violation of its sovereignty. Binance said hackers stole more than $6 billion.
