    Between 2020 and 2022, the US government found that over 300 US companies in multiple industries, including several Fortune 500 companies, had unknowingly employed these workers, indicating the magnitude of this threat.

    So AI’s just making some things easier now.

    North Korean remote IT workers require assistance from a witting facilitator to help find jobs, pass the employment verification process, and once hired, successfully work remotely. - Microsoft

    I was gonna say… how do they deal with the HR paperwork and getting paid? They need Americans or at least people from other countries to help.

      Boy can you imagine the James Webb telescope they would shove up your ass if someone from North Korea stole your identity and used it to get paid from an American company?

      Like would the US authorities just take your word for it surely not right? I’m thinking minimum of like a 30 day investigation and your electronics seized.

      Idk just thinking about that scenario though is wild like “Oh man my identity got stolen how the fuck could my life get any worse?” KNOCK KNOCK
