ME News Report, April 19 (UTC+8), the Ethereum Foundation's recent funding review shows that a project called Ketman is 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)

Faking an identity to sneak into a remote team—just thinking about it makes the hair on my neck stand up. Just plant a backdoor in the code and you’re done for.

The foundation's funding direction this time is quite right; security infrastructure can't rely solely on voluntary efforts from the private sector.

The IT workers in North Korea have such a mature industry chain, it's truly terrifying upon closer inspection.

Reverse phishing is a powerful move, causing scammers to expose themselves during interviews.
