Guy working at a B2B SaaS development team who becomes convinced his Italian coworker named Sergio Techstackani is actually a North Korean agent.
I wish
imagine your 10x engineer coworker being a DPRK citizen, awesome.
There actually is truth to this lol.
Remote workers are outsourcing their jobs to other countries, I don’t think they know that it’s the DPRK though.
Security firms are fear-mongering, saying that the DPRK is a state-sponsor of these schemes, and use the wages to fund their nuclear program as well as steal information from the companies they work at.
I call BS on that part though. Remote workers have been increasingly outsourcing their work to exploit the labor of other countries. It’s just xenophobic fear-mongering that makes it seem as if the DPRK has an agenda related to stealing information.
If it were someone outsourcing their labor to India or Pakistan, there would be no such accusations against their governments for stealing proprietary information and using the wages to fund their nuclear program.
I remember a us tech guy outsourcing his work to India, bascially doing nothing while receiving a large paycheck.
Many such cases
I have read some reports about this and they do a poor job of being definitive. It seems true that a few Americans have been arrested for aiding these DPRK workers but the reports implicitly make it seem like the trend is more pervasive than the presented evidence suggests. The security firms also don’t bother detailing the malware aspect of this operation. It’s not like they had any journalistic integrity in the first place but as soon as norf korea is mentioned the responsibility of backing your claims is tossed out of the window.
I wish
north korea is stealing our precious american vibe coding knowledge
Based if true.
Is your colleague trying to turn you into THIS GUY?
