North Korean hackers are using advanced AI tools to hide their identities and infiltrate US-based tech companies to steal sensitive files.
The US government is cracking down on these campaigns and has imposed sanctions to prevent US companies from hiring North Korean nationals.
Hackers are creating fake personas and using VPNs to conceal their identities, with some even using voice-changing software and AI-enhanced documents to increase credibility.
The US Department of Justice arrested individuals involved in a scheme that netted over $5 million, indicting a US national and eight others for wire fraud, money laundering, and hacking, with some linked to the Lazarus group.
