Coinbase says North Korean IT workers are trying to infiltrate its operations. In response, the company is mandating in-person, on-site training in the United States for all employees. Access to sensitive systems will be limited to U.S. citizens who must also undergo fingerprinting. The move aims to reduce remote-work exposure, strengthen identity verification, and protect critical infrastructure. Coinbase frames the policy as a proactive defense against sophisticated nation-state tactics targeting crypto firms and their employees.
