Coinbase Tightens Hiring Policies After North Korean Security Threats

Coinbase is taking new measures to bolster its security in light of recent attempts by North Korean hackers to infiltrate the company using its remote work policy. These attempts have prompted Coinbase to significantly tighten hiring policies, requiring all new hires to undergo in-person orientation and submit fingerprints for sensitive system access. The company has also banned applications from individuals who aren’t U.S. citizens, further restricting potential threats from outside sources.
