WEBVTT - North Korea Strategy to “Infiltrate” Foreign Companies 0:00:21.363 --> 0:00:25.953 Security. No. Before accidentally hired a North Korean state actor 0:00:25.953 --> 0:00:29.133 who tried to install info stealing malware on their device. 0:00:30.093 --> 0:00:35.853 The craziest thing about this whole North Korea stuff and 0:00:35.853 --> 0:00:39.933 how they're like, breaking into these companies, they're not really 0:00:39.933 --> 0:00:43.563 breaking in. They're applying. They're applying to these companies and 0:00:43.563 --> 0:00:48.033 getting hired. And it really reminds me of this Key 0:00:48.033 --> 0:00:51.123 and Peele skit where the guy's like, yeah, so what 0:00:51.123 --> 0:00:53.853 we're going to do is we're going to sneak in. 0:00:53.883 --> 0:00:56.793 I think I told this joke before, but he's like, 0:00:56.793 --> 0:00:59.583 what we're going to do is we're going to sneak in, 0:00:59.613 --> 0:01:03.093 we're going to get hired. And then when they give 0:01:03.093 --> 0:01:07.263 us work, we're going to do the work, and then 0:01:07.263 --> 0:01:12.243 they're going to deposit money in our bank accounts every 0:01:12.243 --> 0:01:19.683 two weeks. And his buddy looks at him and he goes, dude, 0:01:19.803 --> 0:01:25.613 you're talking about a fucking job. That's what a job is. 0:01:25.643 --> 0:01:28.973 And that was the end of the skit. And that's 0:01:28.973 --> 0:01:35.363 literally what these guys are doing. They are applying to jobs, 0:01:35.363 --> 0:01:39.053 getting hired and doing the work. The trick is they 0:01:39.053 --> 0:01:42.713 just take their regular salaries. And I'm not sure what 0:01:42.713 --> 0:01:45.443 percentage is actually doing the work versus doing the work 0:01:45.473 --> 0:01:50.333 poorly versus doing the work, plus trying to hack them additionally. 0:01:50.363 --> 0:01:52.763 Not sure about that exactly. I'm not sure anyone is, 0:01:52.763 --> 0:01:57.503 but here's what I do know. They're taking the money 0:01:57.503 --> 0:02:01.973 from the salaries and putting it back into the government 0:02:02.483 --> 0:02:05.573 to use for like the missile program or whatever other 0:02:05.573 --> 0:02:11.303 shenanigans North Korea is doing. So they're they're literally deploying 0:02:11.663 --> 0:02:16.613 it people into the world, into advanced economies to get 0:02:16.643 --> 0:02:21.953 actual jobs, to earn salaries, to put into the missile 0:02:21.953 --> 0:02:27.113 program That is trippy to me. That is completely insane.
