Sign InThe Ethereum Foundation has confirmed its role in identifying 100 North Korean IT workers infiltrating crypto companies through its 'ETH Rangers' program. The investigation revealed that these developers used false identities to quietly embed themselves within Web3 project teams, facilitating internal breaches. This identification occurred within just six months, leading to security alerts for 53 Web3 projects. Recent developments show these actors have expanded their scope to target crypto entities following a breach of the Drift Protocol, raising alarms over systemic risks. Investigations by ZachXBT previously uncovered a network of 390 DPRK-linked accounts generating over $3.5 million in crypto flows. The organized network is estimated to generate roughly $1 million in monthly revenue, highlighting critical security gaps that continue to impact market confidence in the Solana ecosystem.
