MetaMask’s parent company, Consensys, unknowingly gave a DPRK-linked contractor access to parts of its codebase for about a month.
The GitHub handle (imyugioh) was reportedly already listed in SEAL’s public DPRK IT worker database before the contractor joined. 
Consensys says it caught the issue before any malicious code or user losses occurred. 
If one of the largest crypto companies can be infiltrated through a contractor using a false identity, it’s fair to ask how many smaller protocols with far fewer security resources might be exposed to similar hiring risks.
Damn! Would have been a clean wipe of $ETH / ERC20/BEP20 and other related Assets.
