North Korea has built a vast underground IT labor force that has secretly infiltrated U.S. and global companies through fraudulent job applications. Experts say nearly every Fortune 500 company has unknowingly hired a North Korean IT worker, despite efforts to prevent it. These operatives use stolen identities, fake documents, and accomplices in China and the U.S. to secure remote jobs, and the problem is only getting worse.
