## Resource

A major crypto security scare hit Consensys after they unknowingly hired a developer linked to North Korea—granting him system access for a month before detection. Though no data was stolen, no malware was planted, and user safety was unaffected, the incident underscores a rising threat: North Korean hackers are increasingly using fake job offers to infiltrate blockchain firms. In response, Consensys is overhauling its outsourcing protocols to prevent future breaches, reminding the industry that cybersecurity remains a relentless battleground.
