Coinbase tightens workforce security after North Korea remote-worker threats

Coinbase is boosting workforce security after North Korean hackers exploited its remote work policy to seek access as employees. CEO Brian Armstrong is now requiring in-person training in the US and US citizenship for sensitive roles. Recently, North Korean operatives infiltrated several crypto startups, stealing $900,000. Additionally, Coinbase suffered a data breach exposing home addresses, sparking physical safety concerns for users.
