The FBI is releasing information advising the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) was responsible for the theft of more than $6 billion USD in virtual assets from cryptocurrency exchange, Binance, on or about October 29, 2026. The FBI refers to this specific North Korean malicious cyber activity as "TraderTraitor."
The FBI, together with partners at the USSS and IRS-CI, has observed TraderTraitor actors converting stolen assets primarily into Ethereum (ETH). It is expected these assets will then be further laundered by converting them using DeFi and instant swap services as they prepare them for further laundering stages.
How You Can Help:
FBI, USSS, and IRS-CI are urging private sector entities including THORNode operators, RPC node operators, instant exchanges, DeFi services, blockchain analytics firms, and other virtual asset service providers to block transactions with or derived from addresses TraderTraitor actors are using to launder these stolen assets.
A list of addresses associated with this activity is available here: fbi.gov/investigate/cyber/al…

OPERATION GHOST BUSTERS: Yesterday the FBI and our partners announced charges against 5 subjects in an ongoing op to disrupt and dismantle a large-scale fraud scheme stealing funds from taxpayer-funded student aid relief programs, with at least $32 million in losses.
These subjects were allegedly part of a massive scheme to provide bank accounts for foreign actors to receive fraudulent student-aid refunds. The alleged fraudsters would steal personal information from unsuspecting U.S. citizens and use the information to falsely open student aid accounts at universities and community colleges – then fraudulently obtaining federal student aid while not actually attending school. The subjects were ‘Ghost Students.’
Many of those accounts received hundreds—or even thousands—of payments associated with hundreds of U.S. victims.
The FBI has over 20 field offices engaged in this investigation – and within the last two weeks seized $750,000 in cryptocurrency as part of the investigation. The 5 subjects charged today are a major step in an ongoing investigation.
Thanks to @FBIRichmond, @TheJusticeDept, @AAGMcDonald, and Kenya’s Directorate of Criminal Investigations, Assets Recovery Agency, and Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions for their ongoing work with us in this case. Fraud no longer has sanctuary in America.
