A venture capitalist, a recruiter from a big company, and a newly hired remote IT worker might not seem to have much in common, but all have been caught as imposters secretly working for the North Korean regime, according to security researchers. 

On Friday at Cyberwarcon, an annual conference in Washington DC focused on disruptive threats in cyberspace, security researchers offered their most up-to-date assessment of the threat from North Korea. The researchers warned of a sustained attempt by the country’s hackers to pose as prospective employees seeking work at multinational corporations, with the aim of earning money for the North Korean regime and stealing corporate secrets that benefit its weapons program. These imposters have raked in billions of dollars in stolen cryptocurrency over the past decade to fund the country’s nuclear weapons program, dodging a raft of international sanctions.
