Consensys Suspends Metamask Releases Due to Contractor’s North Korea Links

Subscribe to our newsletter

Ethereum specialist Consensys suspended releases of its popular MetaMask wallet earlier this year after determining that a contractor with links to North Korea had access to its code for about a month.

The unnamed contractor, who worked via a third-party service provider, was determined to have made contributions to MetaMask-related code. Consensys – which reported the incident to law enforcement – says an investigation found no theft of assets or data, and no insertion of malicious code.
