A North Korean Hacker infiltrated the NFT project of the Creator of Pepe

Abstract generation in progress

I have been following this drama for days and what I discovered is surreal. The original creator of Pepe, Matt Furie, and his NFT project were victims of a brutal hack after making the most absurd mistake: they hired a North Korean as a programmer! And they were not the only suckers, the company Favrr also fell into the same trap and put the hacker as Chief Technology Officer. What a level of incompetence! Between the two projects, they lost a million dollars.

The North Korean threat that no one wants to see

This cartoon frog, which we all know from memes and crypto coins, has been used without permission for years. Furie, its original creator, finally tried to cash in by partnering with Chainsaw to launch NFT collections. But his dream went up in smoke when the North Koreans came in through the front door... that they opened themselves!

The most absurd thing is the total lack of security measures. ZachXBT had been warning about the increasing activity of North Korea, especially after the largest hack in the history of cryptocurrencies carried out by the Lazarus group. But no one listens, right?

Cyberattacks are skyrocketing as these companies continue to take no basic precautions. What angers me the most is that only Favrr has had the decency to make a public statement.

Chainsaw posted a brief warning that he then deleted, and Furie has remained tight-lipped. Both have blocked direct messages on X. ZachXBT tried to contact them but was given the cold shoulder... Do they have something to hide or are they just embarrassed by their stupidity?
