Here’s a complete **news article** based on the information you provided, including an **SEO-optimized title**, a **main heading**, and **FAQs**: --- ## 📰 **SEO-Optimized Title:** **North Korean IT Workers Using Fake IDs to Earn Millions From Western Tech Firms** --- ## 🧾 **Main Heading:** **North Korean Defector Reveals Global Scam Using Fake IDs to Fund Kim Regime** --- ## 🗞️ **Full Article:** A North Korean defector has revealed to the BBC how he and thousands of others were forced to take part in a vast undercover operation aimed at secretly earning millions of dollars for the Pyongyang regime by working remote IT jobs under fake identities. Known only as **Jin-su** to protect his identity, the defector claimed he used **hundreds of fake IDs** over the years to apply for remote work with tech companies in **the US, Europe, and other regions**. According to him, it was part of an elaborate scheme orchestrated by North Korea’s government to **bypass international sanctions and generate much-needed foreign currency**. Jin-su said he often held multiple jobs simultaneously and earned **at least \$5,000 per month**, while others made significantly more. He said **85% of their salaries were confiscated by the state**, describing the situation as "robbery" but still an improvement over life inside North Korea. > "We know it's like robbery, but we just accept it as our fate," Jin-su said. > "It's still much better than when we were in North Korea." According to a **United Nations Security Council report released in March 2024**, this covert network of IT workers earns **between \$250 million and \$600 million annually** for the regime.

While many of these operatives are focused on keeping a steady paycheck flowing back to Pyongyang, US prosecutors and cybersecurity experts have **linked some of them to ransomware attacks, data breaches, and cryptocurrency thefts**. In one case, **14 North Koreans were indicted in a US court last year**, accused of earning **\$88 million** through fraud and extortion over six years. **Another four were charged last month** for allegedly infiltrating a cryptocurrency firm using false identities. These revelations align with long-held concerns from intelligence agencies that **North Korea's cyber workforce**, often trained from a young age, is being used as a financial lifeline for the heavily sanctioned regime of **Kim Jong-un**. --- ## ❓ **Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):** ### 🔹 What is the North Korean IT worker scam?
