DOJ says over $2.7 billion frozen after North Korea’s Binance theft

The Justice Department says U.S. authorities and private firms froze over $2.7 billion after North Korean hackers stole more than $6 billion from Binance, with court authorization to seize or restrain over $1.2 billion of that total. Separately, DOJ says it seized infrastructure used in FaceStealer, a North Korean scheme that stole over $400 million using deceptive video calls and malware disguised as technical fixes.
