11/ This cluster of DPRK IT worker activity is less sophisticated compared to groups like AppleJeus and TraderTraitor, which operate far more efficiently and present the greatest risks to the industry.
I previously estimated DPRK IT workers generate multiple seven figures per month in revenue, and the data here supports that.
Unpopular opinion: threat actors are leaving an opportunity on the table by not targeting low-tier DPRK groups. The risk of repercussions is low, competition is minimal, and the targets are arguably deserving.
I plan to continue building out investigation.io with future findings.
Special thanks to @domain for helping me purchase two premium domains.

1/ Recently an unnamed source shared data exfiltrated from an internal North Korean payment server containing 390 accounts, chat logs, crypto transactions.
I spent long hours going through all of it, none of which has ever been publicly released.
It revealed an intricate ~$1M/month scheme of fraudulent identities, forged legal documents, and crypto-to-fiat conversion.
Enjoy the findings!

earlier today @heliuslabs launched a new RPC method, getTransactionsForAddress (gTFA)
let's talk about how it works under the hood
solana transactions typically reference 6-10 accounts (up to ~256)
when you query "get me the history of account X", you are asking the RPC to scan transactions and find the ones that include X in their list of accounts
this is essentially trying to find a needle in a haystack
you can't simply add a standard index on the "accounts" array at scale – databases struggle with indexing variable length arrays
the solution: we built our own index, with one entry per unique (transaction, account) pair
this is no small feat – there are ~493 billion transactions (and growing)
our index currently holds over 2.3 trillion (!) rows
despite the size, the P50 lookup time is ~8ms under production load
and we have many other indices to power lookups by slot, time, status, etc
all running on purpose-built bare metal hosts with petabytes of top-of-the line NVMEs, replicated across multiple regions
tldr – we suffered so you don't have to
enjoy

Most countries would be better off simply copying most of what Singapore does:
- how it keeps crime low & punishes criminals
- how it keeps the city clean
- how it deals with immigration and regulates it
- especially how it educates it civil servants and rewards merit in politics
- how it allows a low rules free market but does take care of its citizens
- how it uses feng shui in city design
- how it allows cultures to mingle without a loss of national identity
- how it keeps innovating and renews itself
- how it keeps an industrial base
- how it does not implement crazy energy policies
of course i i am aware of it advantageous strategic location, certain Confucian cultural mindset, and the negative sides of a ¨nanny-state¨, low birth-rates, and some other minor disadvantages
but still....
this was a swam with nothing basically 75 years ago
simply impressive, many countries can learn from this and refuse even to send its civil servants to visit and learn. Just watch some videos of Singaporian PM´s talking...if every head of state would be this smart and well thought...this planet would be very different

when i started building echo 2 years ago, i knew it had 95% chance of failing. to be honest, i couldnt really imagine any other outcome, but i thought at least it may be a noble failure worth attempting.
i certainly didn't think echo would be sold to coinbase, but, here we are: today coinbase bought echo for ~$375m.
echo will remain a standalone platform under its current brand for now, but we will integrate sonar's public sale product into coinbase, and likely introduce new ways for founders to access investors, and for investors to access opportunities into coinbase itself.
over the years i have chatted to brian a handful of times, and mostly to complain at him honestly. i have always respected how brian would listen to an outsider chat shit at him on the phone and take the feedback seriously. now, instead of complaining, i will have the opportunity try to do the work to make things better.
crypto itself has moved on a long way since we started working on echo. i guess partially this is because of the election result. but, i feel energised by a lot of the cool things being built in crypto again: hyperliquid, zcash, stablecoin supercyle, and so on.
feels like a good time to be on the field instead of an idiot with a twitter account yapping nonsense. well, i guess i still will be that.
anyway, job's not finished. onwards.
oh fuck yeah, before i go, the final season of up only (now "unc only" due to our severe old age) will commence when we figure out who the guests should be lol

JUST IN: President Trump says a "very wealthy gentleman" offered to pay U.S. troops' salaries if funding ran out during the government shutdown.
Reporter: "You have the money to pay the troops...?"
Trump: "I do... I actually have a man who is a very wealthy person... A donor, a great gentleman, and he said, 'If there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it,' meaning he will pay it."
