SEAL member: North Korea's infiltration of the crypto industry is far more serious than anyone imagined.

Pablo Sabbatella, a member of the Security Alliance (SEAL) and founder of the Web3 auditing firm Opsek, warned that North Korea's infiltration of the crypto industry is "far more serious than people realize," with as many as 15%–20% of crypto companies having been infiltrated by North Korean agents. Sabbatella pointed out that 30%–40% of job applications received by the crypto industry come from North Korean agents who use outsourcing platforms to find "aliases" worldwide to apply for jobs on behalf of others, then remotely control their computers to gain US citizenship and infiltrate the companies. He stated that the crypto industry's OPSEC (Operations Security and Security) practices are "the worst in the entire computer industry," making founders and teams highly vulnerable to social engineering and malware attacks.
