North Korean operatives are applying to jobs across the U.S. and Europe, and they're getting them.
These operatives are embedding themselves at Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, critical infrastructure, and even the firms tasked with stopping this threat. The money they earn flows back to the regime and its nuclear weapons program.
To Catch a Thief: The North Koreans On Our Payroll is a first-of-its-kind audio documentary from Nicole Perlroth, bestselling author and former lead cybersecurity reporter for The New York Times.
This season offers an exclusive look inside this hidden network: a rare look at a North Korean IT worker on the job, interviews with defectors who escaped, and door-knocking the unknowing Americans hosting laptop farms on North Korea's behalf.
