Federal authorities also have alleged that thousands of IT workers employed by U.S. companies were actually North Koreans using assumed identities to land remote work. The workers gained access to internal systems and funneled their salaries back to North Korea’s government. In some cases, the workers held several remote jobs at the same time.
Hmmm…
Other than being north Korean and using a fake identity, this sounds like the Key and Peele sketch when their plan to rob a bank involves getting jobs at the bank and collecting a salary, and then doing that for years. Full stop.
Learning how to do remote IT work seems like a good living for anyone with a decent internet connection.
They had to give all the money to the nk government
Exactly 🤣
“Stole billions in crypto currency.” And how is crypto better than our current system? Crypto is just billionaires controlling our finances instead of governments. Good job, crypto bros. Any new technology is capitalized on. Always has been, always will.
Techbros have repeatedly told me you can’t steal crypto. You can only legitimately transfer it, since the ledger is immutable.
Therefore I can only conclude NK earned or was gifted that crypto.
Did they? Or did they tell you that crypto can’t be stolen from cold wallets and that if it is not your keys, it’s not your money?
Lol what? People steal crypto all the time.
Woosh

Same problems that have persisted for all time. We just can’t track who’s doing it.
Edit: NK probably was gifted it, but thanks to crypto, we’ll never know.
While I really appreciate the serious links, I thought I was pretty clearly joking. Crypto is inherently unsecure by design. Being able to get scammed out of your money is an intentional feature in crypto currencies.
