Following the hacking of Binance and the theft of $6 billion, the FBI promptly identified the culprit, claiming it was North Korea. It is typical behavior for the U.S.—tracing the stolen funds and concluding that the perpetrator is an external actor rather than pointing to the company’s own security vulnerabilities. According to this narrative, the U.S. and its institutions are never at fault; it is always someone from the outside. It is a classic perspective—constantly manufacturing excuses to justify targeting or invading other nations.
Neither the U.S. nor the FBI retains any credibility. If there is a culprit here, it is Binance itself. Even if there were definitive proof of an external attack, blaming North Korea only serves to highlight the pathetic nature of the U.S. and its institutions. Furthermore, to suggest that North Korea possesses the technology to hack and steal billions of dollars is, in effect, an admission that North Korea is a highly advanced and formidable nation.
U.S. institutions need to stop seeking excuses for their own incompetence and cease targeting other countries. It would be far more appropriate to question why those handling sums as massive as $6 billion failed to implement adequate security measures.
They shouldn’t take it the wrong way.
