North Korean Hacker Linked to Consensys Breach Worked at Ankr, Blueberry Protocol, and Other DeFi Protocols

According to Security Alliance's Lazarus Group member database, Mauro Liu, a North Korean-linked hacker connected to a Consensys breach earlier this year, previously held positions at Ankr, Blueberry Protocol, Clover Network, Harmony, and DEPO.

The hacker, operating under the alias Tyler Knapp, gained approximately one month of system access to Consensys through a third-party vendor. Consensys said no assets or data were stolen and no malicious code was deployed. The company terminated access and completed a full investigation after detecting the threat.
