The FBI says the billions of dollars stolen from Binance within minutes in the biggest crypto heist in history was orchestrated by North Korean hackers. The bureau says this week's attack was tied to “malicious cyber activity” by an entity known as TraderTraitor. That same entity behind a $1.5 billion Bybit hack last year. The FBI said Saturday that it is advising crypto exchanges, blockchain analytics companies and others to block transactions tied to certian addresses to keep the money from being laundered further. Later Saturday night, President Donald Trump said authorities were still learning about the case, however, and added, “We don't know if it was North Korea.”

Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, says hackers stole more than $6 billion in what appears to be the largest cryptocurrency heist on record. Blockchain firms have pointed to the attack coming from a North Korean hacking unit. The company said it has reserved more than $6.34 billion of company funds to cover the stolen assets and was beginning to recover assets for users. Binance worked with blockchain partners to freeze roughly $3 billion in affected assets. The cryptocurrency exchange has promised to cover all losses, and it has been sharing regular updates on its social media channels as it uncovers more information about the hack.

Three brothers convicted of exploiting their wealth and access to luxury real estate to drug and rape dozens of women have been sentenced to 30 years in prison. U.S. District Judge Valerie E. Caproni announced the punishment for Tal, Oren and Alon Alexander — known collectively as the Alexander Brothers — on Tuesday after 11 accusers spoke in court. Some of the women choked up as they described how the assaults stole their innocence and left them haunted by nightmares and fearing men. None of the brothers testified during the first phase of the trial, but each spoke Tuesday before they were sentenced.

Authorities say an escaped Tennessee inmate convicted of murdering a co-worker stole a truck from a nearby farm and apparently made it to southern Illinois before abandoning it. Jacob Morley, who was serving a life sentence for killing a co-worker four years ago, was found to be missing from the Northwest Correctional Complex late on Sunday. The Tennessee Bureau of Investigation says Morley stole a farm truck about 2 miles from the prison at about 1 a.m. Monday. Investigators say the truck was found abandoned Tuesday in Marion, Illinois, about 120 miles north of the prison. The police chief in Marion says no other stolen vehicles or suspicious things have been reported in his city.

The police officer who shot and killed a 1-year-old boy in Mississippi when he fired into a moving vehicle while responding to a shoplifting call has resigned. That's according to Senatobia Mayor Greg Graves, who confirmed Friday that Sgt. Hunter Foster was no longer with the city's police force. Foster's attorney Martin Zummach declined to comment. He has said Foster had “no choice” but to shoot at the vehicle because it was moving toward him. Kohen's family says the shooting was not justified. The Mississippi Attorney General's office cleared Foster of criminal wrongdoing earlier this week following a monthslong probe into the June incident outside a Walmart parking lot. The state released Foster's body-worn camera footage of the fatal encounter Thursday.
