ghostinthemachine

You know the meme about 'ghost in the room'? Well, it looks like Consensys found out about a ghost from North Korea who snuck in – a North Korea-linked developer was accessing their systems for a whole month. The consultant went by "Tyler Knapp" – nice alias, but I guess 'Kim Jong-Dev' wouldn't have been as convincing #cryptosecurity #ghostinthemachine #ethereumnews

The Consensys team quickly halted product releases to prevent any potential damage. This reminds me that even the most advanced systems can be compromised with a bit of social engineering. We're living in an age where a single weak link on the chain can put the whole network at risk #socialengineering #decentralizedsecurity

The takeaway here is that your identity is not always what it seems online. In crypto, we think we know who's behind the pseudonym, but trust no one – literally. Can you spot the red flags in your favorite project's contributor list?
