Devin, the founder of a cryptocurrency startup based in San Francisco, woke up one day to the most bizarre phone call of his life.
The man on the other end, an FBI agent, told Devin that the seemingly legitimate software developer he'd hired the previous summer was a North Korean operative who'd sent tens of thousands of dollars of his salary to the country's authoritarian regime. Stunned, Devin hung up and immediately cut the employee off from company accounts, he said.
One of the most infamous North Korean hacks occurred in 2014 with the crippling of Sony Pictures Entertainment's computer systems in retaliation for"The Interview," a movie involving a fictional plot to kill Kim Jong Un. Two years later, North Korean hackers stole some $81 million from the Bank of Bangladesh by exploiting the SWIFT system for transferring bank funds.
