News You Can Use: North Korean Operatives Are Exploiting Remote Work to Infiltrate U.S. Companies

North Korean agents are posing as IT professionals using stolen or fabricated American identities.

The Wall Street Journal reports that American recruiters, often unknowingly, are helping foreign operatives secure remote work arrangements, making it even harder to keep these bad actors out of your business.

Once inside, they access your sensitive data, install backdoors, and sometimes extort victims, putting your business’s assets and reputation at risk.

This evolving insider threat is not limited to IT systems – they also target business communications, where confidential information can be intercepted or manipulated. Standard security measures are no longer enough.

Businesses need robust, compliant solutions that secure both IT infrastructure and communications channels.
