American tech companies face a new threat as the FBI reports that thousands of North Koreans have infiltrated the U.S. workforce by assuming American identities to secure remote jobs. These individuals are believed to be devoted to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and are known for stealing cryptocurrency.
A peculiar detail has emerged from investigations: these scammers have an unusual obsession with the Minions from the animated movie franchise 'Despicable Me.' This fascination has become a recurring joke among security researchers who investigate these cases.
The FBI's findings highlight the need for companies to be vigilant and implement stringent verification processes to prevent such infiltration. The agency continues to monitor the situation and advises businesses to report any suspicious activities related to remote hiring.
