A company was hacked because they hired a North Korean cyber criminal by mistake. The criminal pretended to have experience and fooled the company. He got access to their computers, stole important information, and asked for money. The company, in the UK, US, or Australia, didn’t want their name known. They let others know about the hack to prevent it from happening to others.
Recently, there have been cases of North Koreans pretending to be remote workers in Western companies. In one incident, a North Korean IT worker was hired and later tried to harm the company. Experts say this is a serious problem. Employers should be careful when hiring remote workers, especially if they are from another country. It’s important to check their background to avoid criminals.
