Police probe North Korean IT workers disguised as employees

South Korean police are investigating cases where North Korean IT personnel disguised their identities to get jobs at domestic companies. The National Police Agency's security investigation division began looking into such employment last year, and the suspects reportedly even performed development work while hiding their true identities. Yonhap and Chosun Ilbo both reported the probe on October 22, with police confirming they are investigating the circumstances. Korean media coverage focuses on the security implications, noting the workers infiltrated private firms under false identities.
