Svmuu News: Earlier this year, blockchain company Consensys brought on a software developer using the pseudonym Tyler Knapp through a third-party service provider; a subsequent investigation revealed his ties to North Korea. The developer participated as a consultant and had access to some of Consensys’ systems for approximately one month. Matt Corva, General Counsel at Consensys, stated that Tyler Knapp was never an employee of the company. Upon discovering the threat, the company revoked his access privileges and launched a comprehensive investigation, confirming that no assets or data were misappropriated, no malicious code was deployed, and user security was not compromised. Following the incident, Consensys temporarily suspended product releases to conduct the investigation. Matt Corva noted that the company will reassess its outsourcing practices for engineering and development work.
