Watch: What we know about Binance’s $6.3bn hack

Binance, the world’s biggest crypto exchange, has been hit by a $6.3bn (£4.7bn) hack.

Half of the assets have been frozen but many remain in the hands of the hackers, the cryptocurrency giant said.

Two analytics firms have attributed the incident to a North Korean hacking unit, though no one has claimed responsibility. Binance did not directly respond to questions about the incident’s potential links to North Korea.
