No one in North Korea get to "just make a living" communicating with and working for foreign entities. This is a country that is so paranoid that every visitor to the country is required to stay with an official escort who will vet any contact you have with locals.
The only way that someone gets to communicate with a foreign entity is if they are employed, or closely managed, by the North Korean authorities.

- notahacker 1y agoI'm not sure that agents of the North Korean government deemed loyal enough to get external internet access are looking for jobs at defense firms and devs in order to be good, honest employees that definitely wouldn't clone any technology or backdoor anything...
- ty6853 1y agoSure but if it were legal I would be fine with hiring them to like, pave my driveway or something.
