North Korea linked to massive Binance crypto heist

What the coverage shows

Both outlets frame the story around the suspected North Korean role in the $6.3 billion crypto theft, and both present it as an unusually large hack. The Guardian US headlines the record scale and includes Binance’s response, saying it will cover customer losses and has located about $3 billion so far in the extract. Axios instead focuses on the method and broader pattern, with “How North Korea perfected the crypto heist” and language about years of financial theft and cyberattacks.
