North Korean IT workers have infiltrated the encryption industry on a large scale, with several well-known projects affected.
How North Korean IT Workers Penetrate the Crypto Assets Industry
A recent survey revealed that several well-known Crypto Assets companies unknowingly hired IT workers from North Korea. These North Korean employees successfully passed interviews and background checks using false identities, providing legitimate work for the companies.
The investigation found that at least more than ten Crypto Assets companies employed North Korean IT workers, including well-known projects such as Injective, ZeroLend, Fantom, Sushi, Yearn Finance, and Cosmos Hub.
This practice poses serious legal and security risks. In countries like the United States that impose sanctions on North Korea, employing North Korean workers is illegal. Furthermore, many companies have faced hacking attacks after hiring North Korean IT workers.
Famous blockchain developer Zaki Manian said: "In the entire crypto industry, the proportion of resumes, job seekers or contributors from North Korea may exceed 50%. Everyone is trying to filter out these people."
North Korean IT workers use complex means to conceal their identities, including forging documents and providing false work experience. Their technical skills vary widely; some perform excellently, while others are just "paid for a few months" before being dismissed.
The investigation also found that these workers would send their income to blockchain addresses related to the North Korean government. According to a UN report, North Korean IT workers can only keep a small portion of their wages, with the rest going to the government.
This infiltration not only brings legal and security risks but also raises ethical concerns. Some companies stated that they immediately fired the relevant employees and strengthened background checks upon discovering the truth.
However, the scale of North Korean IT workers' infiltration seems to be larger than expected. The globalized nature of the Crypto Assets industry and its reliance on remote work make it an ideal target for North Korean infiltration.
This survey highlights the challenges that crypto companies face in recruitment and security. As North Korea continues to improve its disguise tactics, companies need to be more vigilant and strengthen their vetting processes to guard against such infiltration.
