CNN reports that North Korea was responsible for the roughly $6 billion hack of Binance, according to a Watcher Guru post early Friday.

It is the largest crypto theft on record. Blockchain investigators had already tied it to North Korea's TraderTraitor unit, the group linked to earlier exchange heists.

Binance has said user funds are safe and that it will cover the losses. US authorities are working to trace and freeze the stolen funds.
