【Insider: Some modules of Cosmos' LSM may have been built by North Korean developers】Jinse Finance reports that Jacob Gadikian, a developer in the Cosmos ecosystem, shared findings in an X post on October 16, indicating that part of Cosmos' Liquid Staking Module (LSM) may have been constructed by North Korean developers. Cosmos co-founder Ethan Buchman stated in an X post on October 18 that Cosmos was previously unaware of North Korea's contribution to LSM. Melody Chan, research head of the non-profit organization Redecentralise focused on sustainable DeFi, indicated that malicious North Korean actors may be the masterminds behind the Cosmos LSM code, potentially introducing hidden vulnerabilities akin to secret backdoors in ecosystem code.
