ReportedattributionClaim 32
The page states that the overlap with Bitget is small, with about $39,000 of Binance funds at the shared address against about $510,000 from Bitget, and that the thief left most of the stolen USDT unconverted for 37 minutes on Ethereum and 46 on Tron.
The overlap with Bitget is small, about $39,000 of Binance funds at the shared address against about $510,000 from Bitget, and that shows a shared laundering network, not necessarily the same hackers. The thief also left most of the stolen USDT unconverted for 37 minutes on Ethereum and 46 on Tron, where North Korean groups usually move faster.
ReportedattributionClaim 30
The page notes that stolen Binance funds were seen mixing in real time with funds from the Bitget theft, which had been attributed to North Korean actors, and that funds from both thefts reached the same Ethereum address as first reported by ZachXBT.
Stolen Binance funds were seen mixing, in real time, with funds from last month's Bitget theft, which had already been attributed to North Korean actors, and one firm calls that its strongest evidence. Funds from both thefts reached [the same Ethereum address](https://etherscan.io/address/0x15104a9ce0f08a8f0075a0869ae80e795fe0feb7) , as ZachXBT first reported.
ReportedattributionClaim 29
