Consensys was wrongly used as a DPRK-related development consultant to contact part of the company system for about a month

On 18 July, Consensys, a block chain company, introduced earlier this year, through a reputable third-party service provider, a software development consultant named Tyler Knapp, who was found to have links with the DPRK. The person had been in contact with some of the company ' s systems for about a month, and the incident resulted in Consensys suspending the release of products and initiating an internal investigation. According to Matt Corva, General Counsel, Consensys, Knapp worked as a consultant only and had never been a regular employee of the company. Consensys terminates all access rights as soon as security risks are identified and initiates a full investigation. The results of the survey showed that no assets or data had been embezzled, no malicious code had been detected, and user security and assets had not been affected。
