Coinbase Tightens Security as North Korean Threats Escalate

[cryptohog]

It’s not just Binance waving the red flag. Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong has also sounded off on the growing risk of North Korean cyberattacks.

Armstrong revealed new internal safeguards:

Mandatory in-person training in the United States.

Citizenship and fingerprinting requirements for workers with access to sensitive systems.

“It feels like there’s 500 new people graduating every quarter, from some kind of school they have, and that’s their whole job,” Armstrong told the Cheeky Pint podcast, referring to the scale of North Korea’s hacking program.

The measures come as Coinbase and other exchanges face relentless targeting by hackers who have already siphoned billions in digital assets.
