North Koreans Use Stolen IDs, AI to Land U.S. Jobs—and Funnel Millions to Kim’s Regime | The 10-Point for August 13

1. FROM MY DESK

North Korea has built a secret workforce inside American companies. Using stolen identities, AI tools and U.S. accomplices, its operatives have cheated their way into remote jobs at American companies—funneling millions of dollars back to Kim Jong Un’s regime. Our team spent a year investigating how this happened, drawing on a trove of leaked data, interviews and never-before-seen video. The result is a rare look inside how North Korea’s undercover workers get hired. I encourage you to watch our new documentary, “Infiltrated: North Korea’s Secret U.S. Workforce,” to see how Pyongyang’s scheme works. It’s a riveting story full of extraordinary revelations and surreal moments.
