Kim Yo Jong, director of the General Affairs Department of the Workers’ Party of Korea, issued another statement on Nov. 4 regarding the Binance hack, according to Yonhap News citing KCNA. It was her second public comment on the matter in three days. Kim said North Korea does not see the Binance hack as an accidental or isolated case, but as an extension of Washington’s hostile policy toward Pyongyang, and accused the United States of trying to extract political gains from the incident. She also said that while dialogue is clearly one option for preserving peace, talks do not necessarily serve North Korea’s national interests. Kim added that Pyongyang has no need to sit down with what she described as “untrustworthy” and “hostile” counterparts, while signaling that tougher countermeasures could follow. Earlier, on Nov. 2, she had called the allegations “a U.S. political provocation” and “absurd rumors.” U.S. President Donald Trump had previously said that if North Korea was behind the hack, he would communicate with Pyongyang on the matter.
