Techub News reports that, according to Cointelegraph, the Ethereum Foundation stated that its funded Ketman project identified 100 North Korean IT personnel lurking within Web3 organizations over a six-month period and issued warnings to approximately 53 projects, alerting them that they may have hired related personnel.

The project focuses on the issue of "fake developers" in the crypto industry and is part of the ETH Rangers Public Safety Grant Program. Ketman also developed an open-source detection tool for identifying suspicious GitHub activity and collaborated with the Security Alliance to develop an industry recognition framework for identifying North Korean IT personnel.
