Binance says it has restored backing for 90% of assets affected by its $6.3 billion hack and resumed phased withdrawals.

What the coverage shows

Most outlets converge on the scale of the Binance breach, calling it the largest or one of the largest crypto hacks on record and repeatedly tying it to North Korea, either through FBI attribution or blockchain firms. Bloomberg Technology and the South China Morning Post are the clearest on the FBI blame, while BBC News, CBS News, NPR and others frame the North Korea link as suspected or likely rather than settled. A second cluster of coverage shifts to Binance’s response, with The Hill, CNBC, Sky News and France 24 focusing on restored or resumed withdrawals and the company covering most of the losses.
