North Korean Hackers Create Insider Threat with Job Scams and Remote Workers

North Korean hackers are employing new tactics to infiltrate companies and government agencies by posing as job seekers. They are using fake applications like FreeConference App and launching job interview scams to deploy malware such as BeaverTail and InvisibleFerret. Additionally, North Korean operatives are joining the payroll of these organizations as remote workers using stolen identities of foreigners, creating an insider threat. This operation has allowed them to secure hundreds of low-level IT jobs and other roles, generating hundreds of millions of dollars annually for Kim Jong Un's regime.
