MOSCOW, November 2. /TASS/. Yi He, co-founder of Binance, which was hit by a massive hacking attack, denied the rumor about a romance between one of the crypto exchange's engineers and an alleged North Korean agent.

"This story is dramatic, but it is not true," she wrote on her X social media page in response to the relevant post.

The crypto exchange reported on October 29 that it had fallen victim to a cyberattack. Potential losses could reach $6.3 bln. Deposits remain unaffected, and access to them is operating as usual.
