Ripple Partners With Coinbase To Combat North Korean Hackers
Ripple said shared profiles can help firms spot North Korean operatives who pose as job candidates and evade background checks.
- On Monday, Ripple began sharing internal threat intelligence on North Korean hackers with Crypto ISAC, reframing how the sector responds to shifts in DPRK attack methodology.
- Rogue operatives now bypass traditional security by applying for jobs, passing background checks, and building trust for months before deploying malware via social engineering rather than exploiting DeFi code vulnerabilities.
- Lazarus Group operatives drained $292 million in ETH during the Kelp breach; the Drift hack saw $285 million moved without triggering security alarms, totaling more than half a billion dollars in one month.
- An attorney representing victims of North Korean terrorism served restraining notices on Arbitrum DAO on Monday, claiming 30,765 ETH frozen after the Kelp exploit is state property; lending company Aave disputed the filing in support of Arbitrum.
- "The strongest security posture in crypto is a shared one," Ripple posted on X. Without shared intelligence, companies cannot recognize candidates who failed background checks at three other firms in the same week.
