North Korean IT Workers' Infiltration Tactics

North Korean IT workers infiltrate international tech companies by applying for jobs through popular platforms like CryptoJobList and Indeed.com, often obscuring their true identities due to global sanctions. These workers conduct interviews and perform job tasks like any other employees, but their earnings are funneled back to the North Korean regime, potentially funding its nuclear program. This phenomenon is particularly pronounced within the crypto industry, where the lure of higher wages attracts these workers, who may represent a significant portion of job applications received by certain companies. The implications of hiring these workers include severe legal ramifications and the potential for serious security risks to the companies involved.
