One of the most successful cases of countering North Korean hackers so far is the footage exposed by Dutch anti-scam blogger Deeveeaar. He’s been tracking scammers who pretend to be remote programmers. Turns out, a hacker on LinkedIn was monitoring these scammers, hacked into their computer, and turned on the webcam—only to discover they weren’t ordinary scammers, but a group of young people dressed in North Korean military uniforms. These individuals were living in military dormitories, with clothes racks, bunk beds, and other typical furnishings. They were polishing their boots, joking around with each other, and working on their computers at the same time. Their computers were connected to VPNs to hide their locations, and they were writing code in English and Russian. They even used AI to create fake resumes and profiles, then applied for remote jobs on various recruitment platforms in the U.S. and Europe. Once hired, they would look for opportunities to steal company assets (mainly client data and cryptocurrency) to generate profits for the North Korean government.
