North Korea recruits third-country IT specialists to sit interviews
- —Recruitment runs through LinkedIn, with payment of $500 a month in cryptocurrency
- —After hiring, the position is handed over to North Korean agents
- —The FBI IC3 classifies such employees as an insider threat
- —In 2025, crypto theft losses exceeded $2 billion, up 51%
Why it matters: The scheme bypasses screening and gives hackers legitimate access to crypto companies' systems, raising the risk of thefts and data leaks.
