North Korean hackers steal over $400m in crypto as US recovers $1.2bn from Binance hack

The FBI says North Korean state-backed hackers stole more than $400 million in cryptocurrency, using a scheme it calls 'FaceStealer' that lures targets to video chats on fake versions of software such as Zoom and Microsoft Teams. The US Justice Department says it helped freeze nearly half of more than $6 billion stolen in the Binance hack, according to the Wall Street Journal, and Politika puts the sum seized at over $1.2 billion.
