Consensys has terminated its contract with a software developer linked to North Korea, who was mistakenly hired through a third-party service provider. The developer, known by the alias Tyler Knapp, had access to Consensys systems for about a month. General Counsel Matt Corva confirmed that the developer was not an employee but a consultant, and no assets or data were compromised during this period. Upon discovering the connection, Consensys immediately revoked the developer's access and initiated a comprehensive investigation. The company assured that no malicious code was introduced and user security remained intact. In response, Consensys plans to reassess its outsourcing practices for engineering and development work to prevent similar incidents in the future.
