No AI evidence found in North Korean laundering of stolen Binance funds
Blockchain analytics firm Elliptic found no evidence that North Korean hackers used AI agents to move stolen Binance funds, concluding they relied on scripts instead. Investigators tracked thousands of transfers, failed swaps and repeated transactions tied to the laundering effort. The finding matters to traders because it clarifies how stolen exchange funds are being laundered and tempers claims that AI is supercharging crypto crime.
