Coinbase Tightens Workforce Security After North Korea Remote-Worker Threats
Authored by Zoltan Vardai via CoinTelegraph.com,
Coinbase, the world's third-largest cryptocurrency exchange by volume, has come under a wave of threats from North Korean hackers seeking remote employment with the company.
North Korean IT workers are increasingly targeting Coinbase's remote worker policy to gain access to its sensitive systems.
In response, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong is rethinking the crypto exchange's internal security measures, including requiring all workers to receive in-person training in the US, while people with access to sensitive systems will be required to hold US citizenship and submit to fingerprinting.
“DPRK is very interested in stealing crypto,” Armstrong told Cheeky Pint podcast host John Collins in a Thursday episode. “We can collaborate with law enforcement […] but it feels like there's 500 new people graduating every quarter, from some kind of school they have, and th...

Hegseth House-Cleans At Pentagon In Wake Of Disputed Iran Intelligence
Weekend headlines have been taken over by more Trump administration house-cleaning and firings at the Pentagon, as late Friday it was reported that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth dismissed a general whose agency's early intelligence report downplayed the destructive power of the Trump-ordered June strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities.
Lt. Gen. Jeffrey Kruse has been ousted from his role as director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). The official reason disclosed is "loss of confidence". While the DIA is lesser known among the nation's major intel agencies like the CIA or NSA, it coordinates all military intelligence among US armed forces, and is mostly staffed by civilians - but under DoD leadership.
Hegseth also removed Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore, head of the Navy Reserve, and Rear Adm. Milton Sands, a Navy SEAL in charge of Naval Special Warfare Command, from their posts, according to officials.
Lt. Gen. J...
