Reporting Suspicious Activity in North Korea: What You Need to Know

Warning Signs of North Korean IT Workers’ Suspicious Activities

North Korean IT workers have been found to be engaging in suspicious activities on freelance work platforms, including forging their identities and nationality. Here are some warning signs to look out for:

• Creating fake identification documents by illicitly collecting foreigners’ driver’s licenses and identification cards and replacing the photos using Photoshop.
• Using a “proxy phone call authentication service website” during phone call authentication.
• Borrowing freelance work platform accounts from various foreigners in return for distributing certain amounts of generated revenue.

How North Korean IT Workers Operate

North Korean IT workers have been found to be establishing business partnerships with foreign freelance programmers, collaborating on projects and splitting the generated revenue. They typically target proxy account holders through social media and obtain authenticated accounts by completing email, phone call, and ID card authentication processes.

• During online interviews, these hackers prefer text-based chat over video interviews, claiming technical issues if companies insist on video calls.
• However, they can also remotely access the computer of proxy account owners and demonstrate programming skills themselves during real video interviews.

How Revenue is Generated

The revenue generated through proxy accounts is typically deposited into the proxy’s bank account, with some paid to the owner and the rest transferred to local IT teams’ bank accounts. After establishing a business relationship with client companies, these hackers often propose direct communication on separate platforms, minimizing commission fees for proxy accounts and building long-term partnerships.

What You Can Do

If you suspect any suspicious activity or have information about North Korean IT workers engaging in fraudulent activities, please report it to the relevant authorities immediately. Remember to stay vigilant and report any unusual behavior or transactions that may indicate fraudulent activity.
