Bullet points of How North Korea Infiltrated the Crypto Industry
- CoinDesk identified over a dozen crypto companies that unknowingly hired IT workers from North Korea.
- The workers used fake IDs, successfully navigated interviews, passed reference checks, and presented genuine work histories.

- It also presents a security risk: CoinDesk encountered multiple examples of companies hiring DPRK IT workers and subsequently getting hacked.
