DESCRIPTION:The sun rises over Pyongyang\, and a new shift begins for a glo
 bal\, remote IT workforce you likely employ. While the cybersecurity commu
 nity tracks sophisticated state-sponsored actors\, a quiet\, effective arm
 y of North Korean IT workers has infiltrated Western organizations to evad
 e sanctions and fund their state. They operate through a mix of purchased 
 illicit accounts\, stolen identities\, and pirated software that leaves th
 em uniquely susceptible to the very infostealers they utilize against othe
 rs. We are currently observing a massive influx of these workers using sop
 histicated remote setups\, fake resumes\, and American collaborators. Are 
 your hiring practices prepared to spot an applicant who isn't who they say
  they are? This talk pulls back the curtain on the DPRK IT worker playbook
  and operationalizes intelligence we’ve gathered by tracking their digit
 al footprint.
