North Korean operatives posing as remote IT workers used fake and stolen identities to get hired by U.S. companies, with one team alone entering at least eight businesses within a few months. The Wall Street Journal said leaked data, interviews and previously unpublished videos show how the scheme works and described it as part of a broader effort that channels hundreds of millions of dollars back to the North Korean regime. The case highlights how remote hiring and identity verification gaps can be exploited to generate overseas revenue while masking the true identity and location of workers.
