North Korean agents have infiltrated 15%-20% of криптовалюта companies.

According to a SEAL member, 30%-40% of crypto industry job applications may come from North Korean agents.

The encryption industry has been criticized for having “the worst operational security (opsec) in the entire computer industry,” according to Pablo Sabbatella.

North Korea’s penetration into the crypto industry is far greater than people realize.

Pablo Sabbatella, founder of Web3 auditing firm Opsek and a current member of the Security Alliance, dropped a bombshell at the Devconnect conference in Buenos Aires: North Korean agents may have infiltrated as many as 20% of crypto companies.

“The situation in North Korea is much worse than people imagine,” Sabbatella told DL News. He further alarmingly pointed out that 30-40% of crypto industry job applications may come from North Korean agents attempting to infiltrate related organizations.

If these estimates are true, their potential destructive power would be incredible.

More importantly, North Korea’s infiltration isn’t just about stealing funds through hacking, although they have already stolen billions of dollars through sophisticated malware and social engineering. The bigger problem is that these agents are employed by legitimate companies, gain system privileges, and manipulate the infrastructure that underpins major crypto companies.

According to a U.S. Treasury report last November, North Korean hackers stole more than $3 billion in cryptocurrency over the past three years. These funds were subsequently used to support Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons program.

How do North Korean agents infiltrate the crypto industry? North Korean workers typically do not apply for jobs directly because international sanctions prevent them from participating in the recruitment process under their real identities.

Instead, they seek out unsuspecting remote workers around the world to act as “agents.” Some of these agents have even transitioned into recruiters, helping North Korean agents use stolen identities to hire more overseas collaborators.

According to a recent report by Security Alliance, these recruiters reach out to individuals around the world through freelance platforms such as Upwork and Freelancer, with a primary focus on Ukraine, the Philippines, and other developing countries.

Their “deal” is very simple: provide verified account credentials or allow North Korean agents to use your identity remotely. In return, the collaborator receives 20% of the revenue, while the North Korean agents keep 80%.

Sabbatella stated that many North Korean hackers target the United States.

“Their approach is to find Americans to act as their ‘front end’,” Sabbatella explained. “They would pretend to be from China, not speak English, and need someone to help them with the interviews.”

Next, they would infect the computers of the “front-end” personnel with malware, thereby obtaining US IP addresses and gaining access to more internet resources than they had in North Korea.

Once hired, these hackers are usually not fired because their performance satisfies the company.

“They are highly efficient, work long hours, and never complain,” Sabbatella told DL News.

Sabbatella offered a simple test: “Ask them if they think Kim Jong-un is a weirdo or something bad about him.” He said, “They are not allowed to say anything bad.”

Operational security vulnerabilities However, North Korea’s success is not solely due to sophisticated social engineering.

Crypto companies—and users—have made it all easier.

“The crypto industry is probably the worst in terms of operational security (opsec) in the entire computer industry,” Sabbatella said. He criticized the founders of the crypto industry as “fully doxxed, poor at protecting their private keys, and vulnerable to social engineering.”

Operational Security (OPSEC) is a systematic process for identifying and protecting critical information from adversary threats.

The lack of operational security creates a high-risk environment. “Almost everyone’s computer will be infected with malware at least once in their lifetime,” Sabbatella said.

Update Notes

Update: This article has been updated to include a clarification from Sabbatella, who points out that North Korea does not control 30%-40% of crypto applications; the aforementioned percentage actually refers to the proportion of North Korean agents in crypto job applications.
