The Ethereum Foundation, Secureum, The Red Guild, and SEAL released the closing recap for ETH Rangers, a six-month public goods security program funding 17 independent researchers. The crew identified ~100 DPRK IT workers embedded across 53 Web3 projects, recovered or froze over $5.8M in stolen funds, and documented 785+ vulnerabilities and client-side exploits. Real dent in North Korea's crypto infiltration playbook and solid receipts for public goods funding pointed at thankless security grunt work.
