North Korean IT workers infiltrate the encryption industry, and many well-known projects face risks.
How North Korean IT Workers Penetrate the Crypto Assets Industry
A recent survey revealed that many Crypto Assets companies have unknowingly hired IT workers from North Korea. These workers successfully passed interviews and background checks using false identities, working for several well-known blockchain projects.
Investigations have found that at least a dozen crypto companies have employed North Korean IT workers, including projects such as Injective, ZeroLend, Fantom, Sushi, Yearn Finance, and Cosmos Hub. These workers typically use fake passports and ID cards, and provide seemingly real work experience.
In countries like the United States that impose sanctions on North Korea, hiring North Korean workers is illegal. This also brings security risks, as multiple companies have been attacked by hackers after employing North Korean IT workers.
Famous blockchain developer Zaki Manian stated that the proportion of resumes and job seekers from North Korea in the entire Crypto Assets industry may exceed 50%. He himself inadvertently hired two North Korean IT workers in 2021 to develop the Cosmos Hub blockchain.
The investigation also found that these North Korean workers would send their wages to blockchain addresses associated with the North Korean government. According to a United Nations report, North Korean IT workers earn up to $600 million annually for the country.
Many companies stated that they immediately fired employees upon learning of their connections to North Korea and strengthened their background check processes. However, the technical abilities of North Korean IT workers vary, with some performing excellently, making it difficult for employers to detect.
This issue poses a severe challenge to the Crypto Assets industry. Companies need to be more vigilant and strengthen their scrutiny to prevent inadvertently hiring North Korean workers and facing legal and security risks. At the same time, it also highlights the need for better identity verification and background check mechanisms in the Crypto Assets industry.
