North Korean developers have been found to be involved in the development of a Cosmos SDK module, raising security concerns within the cryptocurrency community. All in Bits (AIB), the software development company behind the Cosmos Network, announced via GitHub that "an investigation has determined that North Korean developers were involved in the development of the LSM code, a Cosmos SDK module for the Cosmos Hub." "In August 2021, LSM development began, led by Iqlusion and Cosmos community lead Zaki Manian. The development process involved regular audits. However, the issue arose when two North Korean developers were tasked with resolving security vulnerabilities identified during these audits. The final merge of the LSM code in 2022 was also done by a North Korean developer. In 2023, the FBI informed Zaki of the North Korean developers' involvement in the code's development, but he concealed this information from the community." The involvement of North Korean developers in the development of the LSM code is concerning due to the country's history of cyberattacks and its support for cryptocurrency-related illicit activities. Some members of the cryptocurrency community are calling for the LSM code to be audited by an independent third party to ensure its security. ```
