Australias top spy chief, Mike Burgess from ASIO, warns of North Korean agents infiltrating local companies, posing as remote IT workers to fund Kim Jong-uns weapons programs. The Australian Federal Police is on high alert, as these operatives have already secured jobs in Australian firms. Major US companies and Australian banks have been targeted, with Pyongyang playing a long game to turn job hunts into funding pipelines. Burgess urges companies to strengthen hiring practices, as basic checks are being overlooked, leaving room for espionage, sabotage, or fraud. The FBI has labeled this scheme increasingly dangerous, advocating for deeper reference checks and video interviews to spot fakes. In a world of cyber threats and economic pressures, hiring smarter is crucial to avoid North Korean infiltrators.
