A company based in the UK, US or Australia was hacked after mistakenly hiring a North Korean cybercriminal as a remote IT worker. The hacker, who had falsified his employment history and personal details, gained access to the company's network, downloaded sensitive data, and demanded a six-figure ransom in cryptocurrency. This incident highlights a growing trend of North Korean cybercriminals posing as legitimate remote workers to infiltrate Western companies, steal data, and extort money. This practice, which has been happening since 2022, has escalated recently, with North Korean hackers aiming for quicker and larger gains through data theft and extortion.
