MetaMask Removes Developer Linked to North Korea
MetaMask removed a developer after discovering ties to North Korea, who contributed to its core code for nearly a month under the alias 'Tyler Knapp'. The developer, brought in through a trusted third-party contractor, previously worked at Ankr and Blueberry Protocol, which were exploited. Consensys, MetaMask's parent company, could have lost millions if the connection had not been uncovered.
