Elliptic: No evidence that North Korean hackers used AI to transfer funds stolen from Binance.
Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic stated that there is currently no evidence that North Korean hackers used AI to transfer the $6.4 billion stolen from Binance; the operations are more consistent with traditional scripted patterns. Tom Robinson, co-founder and chief scientist of Elliptic, pointed out that the hackers' actions of transferring funds through automated software services conform to a pre-set script execution pattern, rather than autonomous decision-making by an AI agent. Currently, the hackers still control approximately $3.28 billion of the stolen funds, while approximately $2.85 billion in assets have been frozen or recovered. The FBI has confirmed that the theft was carried out by the North Korean hacking group TraderTraitor.
