There's a few things I don't get about this. Are they after primarily the salaries? In which case, the NK worker is going to try and work well enough to keep the job and remain undetected. Or is it for commercial espionage and blackmail? In which they'll be doing little real work but will be stealing information rapidly.
Also, what changed in the US to make the scam more difficult there?
what im finding hard to understand is the interview process. are there really any job offers without requiring a video or in-person interview? where are they? i need those, im not NK, please enlighten me
I am amazed at that too! This is (according to the article) defence industry and government jobs, which you'd thought would take these things more seriously.
