Consensys said it had previously and unintentionally hired a developer linked to North Korea who worked under the alias "Tyler Knapp" and contributed code to MetaMask before access was revoked. According to Drop Site News, the developer joined the company through an external recruiting channel. Consensys has since removed the individual’s code access. The disclosure has drawn market attention to security risks tied to distributed collaboration in Web3 projects, especially when outside hiring channels are involved. The report was cited by Techub, with Wu Blockchain also referencing the development.
