Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has raised alarms over North Korean hackers attempting to infiltrate U.S. tech companies by exploiting remote work policies. In a discussion with Stripe co-founder John Collison, Armstrong disclosed that these threat actors are offering six-figure bribes to customer support agents to gain insider access. To combat these threats, Coinbase has implemented stringent security measures, including mandatory in-person orientations, biometric screenings, and citizenship requirements for sensitive positions. Armstrong emphasized a zero-tolerance policy, which includes potential jail time for any collaborators involved in such schemes.
