Someone said that North Koreas are trying to get jobs. Ok

Then they had a candidate who was trying to cheat the systemeat

How did they establish and verify that the candidate was North Korean? Are North Koreans the only ones who try to remote work byt lying about their whereabouts?

Not at all.

If you live in a country outside of the US and you see the money software poeple make in the US it is mighty tempting to land a gig.

The fact that the persdon made simple mistakes and needed to be coached does not sound like a North Korean state operation.

If someone had told them Russian hackers are trying to get jbos.

Would they have asummed the person was Russian?



The article notes the following as the establishing link:

> We received a list of email addresses linked to the [North Korean] hacker group, and one of them matched the email the candidate used to apply to Kraken.


but how legit is the list?
