From Deepfakes to Sanctions Violations: The Rise of North Korean Remote IT Worker Schemes

U.S. Government and private sector sources continue to report efforts by Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) nationals to infiltrate companies around the world by posing as information technology (IT) professionals, in order to get hired by U.S. and other businesses and gain access to sensitive company systems.

Enforcement actions brought by the U.S. Department of Justice identify victims in the cryptocurrency sector, including decentralized finance (“DeFi”) projects. In addition, media reports indicate that North Korean hackers are purportedly offering fake job offers targeting employees in the cryptocurrency sector, with the goal of stealing crypto.
