Ethereum Foundation-funded program exposes 100 DPRK workers in crypto
The Ethereum Foundation said it funded a six-month project that exposed 100 North Korean operatives who had infiltrated Web3 companies under fake identities.
The foundation on Thursday shared a recap of its ETH Rangers program, which was launched in late 2024 to provide "stipends for individuals doing public goods security work" within the ecosystem.
One of the recipients used the capital to build the Ketman Project to focus on investigating “fake developers” embedded within crypto, particularly operatives from the People's Republic of Korea.
During the six-month stipend period, the Ketman Project identified "100 different DPRK IT workers operating within Web3 organizations" and reached out to about 53 projects to alert them about having potentially employed active DPRK operatives.
"This work directly addresses one of the most pressing operational security threats facing the Ethereum ecosystem today," the Ethereum Foundation said.
North Korean operatives have been plaguing the crypto sector, leading to billions worth of crypto stolen over the years. One of the highest-profile hacking groups from North Korea is known as the Lazarus Group.

NEAR Protocol’s largest Decentralized Finance (DeFi) hub, Rhea Finance, suffered a $7.6 million exploit after an attacker manipulated its oracle and validation layer. Blockchain security firm CertiK flagged the incident, confirming that assets were drained across multiple tokens. How the Rhea Finance Exploit Unfolded The attacker deployed fake token contracts and created fresh liquidity pools on the protocol. These pools likely distorted price feeds, misleading the oracle into validating fraudulent transactions. According to CertiK, at least $7.6 million was extracted from Rhea Finance. Stolen funds included USDC, USDT, Zcash (ZEC), and NEAR (NEAR). Vadim Zacodil, an ex-NEAR core contributor, confirmed the figures and warned users to monitor the situation closely. Withdrawals are currently halted as the team works to contain further damage. “The attacker created fake token contracts and added liquidity in fresh pools, likely misleading the oracle and validation layer,” CertiK noted. Why This Matters for NEAR DeFi Rhea Finance holds a dominant position in the NEAR ecosystem. Formed in early 2025 through the merger of Ref Finance and Burrow Finance, it serves as the primary DEX and lending layer on the network. Rhea Finance on Near Protocol. Source: DefiLlama The protocol previously held over 95% of NEAR’s DeFi total value locked, making this exploit significant for the entire chain’s DeFi infrastructure. Oracle manipulation remains one of the most persistent vulnerabilities in DeFi, with attackers repeatedly exploiting untested price feeds and thin liquidity. The coming days will reveal the full scope of losses and whether Rhea Finance can secure affected user funds.

📊 Bitcoin ETF Demand Increasing

Bitcoin is seeing renewed attention due to rising demand from exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Recent reports suggest that institutional inflows are increasing again, which is providing strong support to the current price levels.

ETF activity is important because it represents long-term investment rather than short-term trading. When institutions enter through ETFs, it usually indicates confidence in Bitcoin’s future growth. This also reduces selling pressure in the market.

The steady inflow of capital is helping Bitcoin maintain stability even during uncertain market conditions. This is one of the key reasons why price is holding strong despite volatility in altcoins.

If this trend continues, Bitcoin could see sustained upward momentum in the coming sessions.
