ConsenSys, a prominent blockchain company, inadvertently allowed a developer associated with North Korea to access its systems for a month. Matt Corva, the chief legal counsel of ConsenSys, revealed that the individual was introduced through a third-party vendor and served as an external consultant. Fortunately, the company identified potential threats rapidly and revoked access following their internal protocols. A subsequent investigation confirmed that there were no adverse effects on the organization.
