North Korean IT team develops encryption project using fake identification related to $680,000 attack incident.

According to reports, a source revealed that an individual hacked into the devices of North Korean IT personnel and discovered that their small team obtained developer positions using over 30 fake identifications, purchased accounts on certain platforms with government IDs, and conducted work through certain software. The relevant data includes Google Drive exports, Chrome profiles, and screenshots.

The wallet address 0x78e1 is closely related to a $680,000 attack on a certain platform in June 2025, and more North Korean IT personnel have been identified. The team used Google products to arrange tasks, purchasing SSNs, AI subscriptions, and VPNs. Some browsing records show frequent use of Google Translate to translate Korean, with an IP address in Russia. The negligence of recruiters and the lack of collaboration between services have become the main challenges in combating such activities.
