In brief
Kim Yo Jong accused Washington of hostile policy, linking a Binance cyber incident to DPRK‑backed hackers. She condemned U.S. joint drills with Japan and South Korea, sanctions, and the Trafficking in Persons Report, calling for reflection on U.S. actions and viewing the situation as a new record of anti‑DPRK hostility.
Senior DPRK official Kim Yo Jong said Wednesday that the United States continued to send "hostile signals," linking a recent Binance cryptocurrency hacking incident to a DPRK‑backed hacking group and condemning U.S. military drills and sanctions as part of a broader hostile policy. The remarks were made in a press statement carried by Korean Central News Agency on Nov.
Kim said the Binance hack was "no more than a tip of the iceberg that shows the essence of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK," and that "the U.S. malicious attempt to get a political and strategic profit by abusing the case is producing a political side effect."
We do not regard the Binance hacking incident as any accidental and sudden case or isolated private scheme, but as an extension of Washington's invariable hostile policy toward the DPRK.
She named Washington’s joint military drills with Japan and the Republic of Korea, its unilateral and multilateral sanctions, and the publication of the Trafficking in Persons Report as new records of anti‑DPRK hostility. The statement called for a reflection on U.S. actions across sanctions, cyber, human‑rights reports, and military affairs. This claim appears only in Xinhua news reports.
