ME News Report, April 19 (UTC+8), the Ethereum Foundation's recent grant review shows that a project called Ketman is specifically dedicated to tracking and investigating North Korean remote IT workers infiltrating the crypto space. Data indicates that the team has contacted about 53 crypto projects and identified approximately 100 active North Korean IT workers. It is reported that these individuals often obtain remote technical job opportunities by forging identity documents from Japan and other regions. Currently, Ketman is assisting relevant project teams in conducting reverse "phishing" during interviews to identify and intercept such high-risk personnel. (Source: MLion)

Approximately 100 active members. How many fake identities are behind this number? It’s quite frightening to think about.

Reverse phishing interviews sound like spy movies; Web3 security is increasingly resembling an espionage game.

North Korea's IT workers' move: resume falsification + remote work, the foundation's countermeasures are impressive.

Only 100 people were found out of 53 projects, indicating they hid quite deep; setting traps during the interview process is a brilliant move.

The name Ketman is quite interesting, playing reverse phishing really well.
