PANews reported on November 24th, citing DL News, that Pablo Sabbatella, founder of Web3 auditing firm Opsek and a member of the Security Alliance (SEAL), revealed at the Devconnect conference that North Korean infiltration is far more extensive than imagined. He stated that 15% to 20% of crypto companies harbor North Korean infiltrators, and 30% to 40% of job applications may come from North Korean agents attempting to infiltrate. Due to international sanctions, most North Korean agents cannot directly seek employment, so they recruit remote workers globally, especially from developing countries like Ukraine and the Philippines, as cover. They require these workers to hand over their account credentials or allow them to remotely use their identities. The workers receive 20% of the earnings, while the agents take 80%. North Korean agents also recruit Americans as "front-end" agents, posing as non-English speaking, Chinese interviewees to implant malware on their computers to obtain US IP addresses and bypass restrictions to access more content. Once hired, they are often retained long-term due to their diligence and lack of complaint. To identify them, one can ask for their opinions on Kim Jong-un; they are forbidden from speaking ill of him. Sabbatella claims that the cryptocurrency industry suffers from poor security, making founders vulnerable to social engineering attacks and their computers susceptible to malware infection.PANews reported on November 24th, citing DL News, that Pablo Sabbatella, founder of Web3 auditing firm Opsek and a member of the Security Alliance (SEAL), revealed at the Devconnect conference that North Korean infiltration is far more extensive than imagined.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For
The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
