What the coverage shows
Most outlets center the same broad frame: a $6.3 billion Binance hack described as record-breaking or the largest in crypto history. Tom’s Hardware is the only one to foreground a $5.6 billion figure in its headline and says withdrawals were frozen, while CNBC uses the heist as a springboard for a general explainer about what hacked exchanges mean for users. Channel 4 News, Ars Technica, and both New York Times items are the most explicit about suspected North Korean involvement, while NPR is the only outlet here to present the story as a simple explainer.
Written by Crossfiled from the 1 headlines and extracts below, not from the articles themselves. It describes how the outlets framed this, not what happened. Open any headline for a summary of that article.
