North Korean Hacker Gains High Level Access to Waves’ Keeper-Wallet Codebase: Report - Unchained
A North Korean developer-turned-hacker, linked to online contracting rings known for infiltrating software projects, gained high-level access to the Waves Protocol’s Keeper-Wallet codebase, according to security researchers at Ketman**.**
The attacker, using the GitHub account “AhegaoXXX,” was able to open branches, create releases, and publish updates to the node package manager (npm) registry, effectively gaining control over the project’s code.
The GitHub account of a former Waves engineer, Maxim Smolyakov, was used to approve changes and trigger new releases. Ketman noted that this account had been inactive since 2023, but suddenly approved a pull request from the attacker.
