According to Drop Site News, blockchain company Consensys accidentally hired a software developer linked to North Korea. The individual, using the alias 'Tyler Knapp,' joined Consensys through a third-party contractor and had worked on MetaMask wallet-related code, including features for crypto-to-fiat conversions. Consensys stated that after identifying the security risk, they immediately revoked the individual's access and launched an investigation, confirming that no assets or data were leaked, no malicious code was deployed, and user safety was not compromised. The company subsequently reported the incident to law enforcement and reviewed its third-party outsourcing processes. In recent years, individuals linked to North Korea have been found using fake identities to secure remote development roles at U.S. software companies, aiming to steal information or infiltrate software supply chains. https://www.(wublock123.com)/news/consensys-hires-north-korea-linked-developer-involved-in-metamask-64852
