NK "fake employee" finds a non technical American to run their laptop farm by lying to them that running these laptops is helping make their access to some service faster.
- alganet 1y agoSounds very convoluted. I'm sure many, many countries have botnets. I have a bunch of those countries which I consider irresponsible and wreckless in my radar, not only north korea.
- NitpickLawyer 1y agoThese aren't botnets in the traditional sense. These operations need a US-based laptop (they receive it by mail, from the "target" corporation upon employment) and they also need the mini-kvm device to be plugged in. Then the remote agents connect via that kvm, to make detection harder. To an enterprise IDS/IPS the laptop seems connected from a residential, US IP address (expected). They've already arrested some people involved in this, they have devices as evidence. It's pretty well documented at this point.
