The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in the United States is probing into a case where North Korean staff members, by hiding their true identities, managed to gain employment within a U.S. federal government agency. This investigation was initially disclosed by U.S. media outlets and was subsequently verified by a high-ranking FBI official at an industry conference in Washington. In recent times, it is believed that thousands of North Korean IT professionals have taken advantage of recruitment gaps to secure remote jobs in U.S. or European firms. They use fake identities to apply for jobs, transfer their earnings back to North Korea, and pilfer corporate intellectual property and confidential information. This event marks a rare confirmed instance of North Korean staff infiltrating a U.S. government agency. U.S. authorities have initiated various law enforcement operations and imposed sanctions, while also pursuing accomplices offering support within the United States.
