    The article could be light on details cause it’s entirely made up.

    North Korean “infiltrators” are getting hired at amazon as remote workers to raise money for the DPRK because if their poor and starving state could just get a little money into their evil anti-money communist society then they could build anti-freedom missiles and finally invade the free world.

    The DPRK is partnered with China and Russia and they’ve had decades to rebuild after the holocaust. They have more security now than they ever have. Money isn’t the whole point and only way to do shit in the DPRK. Their issues come from a capitalist monarchy belt with a massively widespread reign of influence. Whoever’s idea it was that they need to apply for jobs at Amazon like common USian peasants probably got hired after the cuts to our propaganda department.

      I read it more as a data exfiltration thing vs fundraising, but that’s also compatible with your point, I think, and taking the article at face value is for sure unwise. Thanks.

      Yeah if any of it happened at all I find it way more probable that it was some sophisticated labor arbitrage where remote workers apply to “US based” jobs for the US wage scale. Why else would Amazon be spending money to prevent those " 1,800 DPRK infiltration attempts"
