North Korean workers have been infiltrating DeFi for 7 years: Researcher
North Korean IT workers have allegedly infiltrated at least 40 decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms over the past 7 years by posing as remote employees or contractors. These infiltrations pose significant risks of insider threats, data exfiltration, or backdoor access to critical DeFi infrastructure. Organizations in the DeFi space must urgently audit their workforce and security controls to mitigate exposure.
