North Korean Remote IT Workers Infiltrate Government and Businesses via Fraudulent Job Applications

North Korean state-sponsored IT workers are infiltrating government agencies and private businesses by applying for remote positions using fake identities and stolen personally identifiable information. The FBI is actively investigating a specific case involving a North Korean remote IT worker who gained employment at an unnamed organization. These operatives use sophisticated interview techniques and fraudulent documentation to bypass hiring vetting, posing risks of data exfiltration, intellectual property theft, and compromised security postures for affected entities.
