The US Department of Justice froze $2.7 billion in funds stolen from Binance and warned of North Korean hacking attacks.

The U.S. Department of Justice, together with the two major stablecoin issuers, froze or secured approximately $2.7 billion in funds, which is nearly half of the more than $6 billion in assets stolen from Binance. The FBI's cyber division issued a warning that North Korean hackers used FaceStealer social engineering techniques to steal encrypted assets and attack the software supply chain by impersonating video conferencing platforms.
