North Korean IT pros are using freelancing platforms to earn money that the nation's authoritarian government uses to fund the development of missiles and nuclear weapons, according to South Korea's government. Seoul therefore wants gig platforms to impose stricter checks to restrict its enemy's activities.warning"DPRK IT workers are located all around the world, obfuscating their nationality and identities.
They also use the services of third parties, who create and maintain accounts on freelance work platforms. DPRK agents put those identities to work as proxies to hide their true identities. Employers that insist on video interviews may see the proxy who created the account on the freelance platform, not the candidate.
South Korea is not happy with freelance platforms: the document published yesterday calls on them to"take tightened measures to verify identity of programmers, such as adding one more authentication step using video call for newly created accounts and requiring client companies to conduct a video interview before signing contracts with freelance programmers."
Peetty sure we heard reports of this in other professions a few years back. Makes sense that NK would target highly the lucrative I.T. industry as well.
