Excerpt: “The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is providing an update to previously shared guidance regarding Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea) Information Technology (IT) workers to raise public awareness of their increasingly malicious activity, which has recently included data extortion. FBI is warning the public, private sector, and international community about North Korean IT workers’ continued victimization of US-based businesses. In recent months, in addition to data extortion, FBI has observed North Korean IT workers leveraging unlawful access to company networks to exfiltrate proprietary and sensitive data, facilitate cyber-criminal activities, and conduct revenue-generating activity on behalf of the regime.”
