FBI And Allies Warn of North Korean IT Workers Using Stolen Identities

**Joint advisory from the U.S., FBI and allied governments warns that North Korean IT workers are infiltrating private firms using forged IDs, proxy agents, VPNs and "laptop farms" to obtain remote work, remit funds to Pyongyang, and create insider-threat opportunities that can lead to data exfiltration and cryptocurrency theft; the alert describes attacker TTPs, payment red flags, and recommended identity- and hiring-controls to reduce sanction exposure and data loss.**
