Crypto giant Binance hit by $6.3bn hack suspected to be largest in history
Two analytics firms have attributed the incident to a North Korean hacking unit called TraderTraitor.
What the coverage shows
BBC News and Reuters both frame the story around the Binance hack as a major blow to confidence, but they do so in different ways. BBC’s two items foreground the scale of the incident and then the recovery angle, with one extract also attributing responsibility to a North Korean hacking unit and another saying the FBI blames North Korea. Reuters’ coverage is narrower, using a podcast-style take to describe the heist as a “confidence hit” and noting customer withdrawals.
