Blockchain company Consensys accidentally hired a software developer, operating under the alias Tyler Knapp, who was later found to have ties to North Korea. The developer had access to some systems for a month, prompting Consensys to suspend product releases and launch an investigation, which concluded no assets or data were misappropriated.
Consensys a confirmé qu'un consultant lié à la Corée du Nord, connu sous l'alias "Tyler Knapp", a contribué au code du portefeuille MetaMask pendant un mois. Bien qu'aucun vol de fonds n'ait été détecté, l'incident révèle une faille de recrutement et souligne une stratégie d'infiltration croissante dans l'écosystème crypto.
A contractor, later linked to North Korea, worked on MetaMask code for Consensys from March to April before access was terminated. Consensys's investigation found no asset or data misappropriation, malicious code, or impact on user safety. The incident highlights the need for rigorous third-party contractor security, including identity verification, least-privilege access, and continuous monitoring.
Consensys and Ethereum co-founder Joe Lubin has joined DeFi United, committing up to 30,000 ETH to recover rsETH backing after a $290 million exploit on Kelp DAO's LayerZero bridge drained approximately 116,500 rsETH on April 18. The initiative, led by Aave DAO participants including Lido, EtherFi, Ethena, Mantle and Frax, aims to restore liquidity and stabilize rsETH markets still facing disruptions. The exploit caused up to $200 million in bad debt on Aave and triggered pauses across dozens of DeFi protocols. Circle's venture arm is also purchasing AAVE tokens to support the protocol.
