The Munchables Hack, revealed vulnerabilities in the crypto world, prompting reflection on the potential effectiveness of the Cryptocurrency Security Standard (CCSS) in preventing such breaches. Allegedly orchestrated by an insider linked to North Korea, the incident underscores the importance of stringent hiring processes and background checks to mitigate insider threats.
