A recent crypto investigation uncovered how North Korean hackers have targeted and infiltrated the industry, posing legal and cybersecurity risks.
Over a dozen crypto companies, including well-established projects like Fantom, Injective, Yearn Finance, ZeroLend, and Sushi, have unintentionally hired IT workers from the DPRK.
The infiltration is more prevalent than expected, with interviews revealing that many hiring management teams have either hired suspected DPRK developers or know someone who has.
North Korean cyberattacks involve social engineering to obtain access to private keys, and the hackers often use fake documentation to disguise their nationalities.
