Binance loses $6B to North Korean hackers in largest crypto exchange theft

Lichtenstein describes North Korean attack method and AI-accelerated laundering threat

Lichtenstein explained that North Korean hackers likely exploited the weakest link—phishing an employee—rather than attacking public-facing systems. He warned that AI agents are now fragmenting and shuffling stolen funds so rapidly that law enforcement faces a 48-hour window to trace the money before it becomes exponentially harder to follow.

“Right now, all of these funds are moving and getting split, split, split into small pieces and shuffled around and moved together. And because AI agents can do this, it's happening incredibly quickly. And so it's really a race against time to just try to catch up and trace it.”
