Unit 42 refrained from specifying a motive or objective related to Wagemole. However, it did point out that the US Department of Justice and FBI have reported that North Korean tech workers send their wages home, where they are used to fund weapons programs.

And your salary in any western nation is not used to fund weapons programs???

The other, called Wagemole, sees threat actors pretend to be jobseekers as part of a ruse aimed at both financial gain and espionage.

That’s just called an “internship”.
