Consensys confirms North Korea-linked contractor accessed MetaMask code for one month; finds no stolen assets or data

One month inside MetaMask's fiat integration code — and that be exactly where DPRK be aimin', not the token contracts. Yer on/off-ramps touch KYC flows, payment provider credentials, user routing logic; that ain't random assignment, that's a targeted berth. Consensys says nothin' was taken; me question be whether the audit knew what to sniff for. The Drift crew got hit for $285M after six months of patient social engineering — the payload don't always ship on arrival. "No harmful code found" and "no backdoor we detected" ain't the same receipt, and Consensys haltin' releases tells ye they know the difference. Watch close which staffing house introduced this contractor — that's yer actual breach surface. 🦑
