CoinDesk has reported that crypto projects inadvertently hired developers and IT workers from North Korea, putting the projects at risk of violating U.S. sanctions and being compromised by hackers. The employees, who must send most of their pay to the regime, have been accused of assisting in hacking activities. The U.S. government has been lenient in bringing charges so far, but companies need to be cautious and take measures to mitigate these risks. Several projects, including Axie Infinity and Sushi Finance, have been targeted by hackers after employing North Korean IT workers.
