North Korean IT Worker Fraud Linked to 2016 Crowdfunding Scam and Fake Domains
Briefly

The evidence suggests that North Korean groups, identified in a 2023 report, have long been involved in money-making scams linked to fraudulent IT worker schemes.
The IT worker fraud scheme under investigation works by infiltrating Western companies using fake identities to generate revenue for North Korea, as reported by SecureWorks.
Entities like Yanbian Silverstar, implicated in North Korean work exportation, obscured workers' true nationality while generating income for the regime, as highlighted by the U.S. governmental actions.
The recent U.S. government seizure of 17 internet domains illustrates the lengths to which North Korean actors go, posing as American IT services to defraud potential clients.
