Kraken, one of the oldest cryptocurrency exchanges in the world, identified a North Korean hacker trying to secure a job at the company. Instead of immediately rejecting him, the exchange proceeded with the interview to understand his tactics.
The revelation comes two months after its competitor, Bybit, suffered the largest hack in history, amounting to R$ 8.2 billion. In April, Google revealed that North Korean hackers are spreading worldwide.
