Remote positions have become Trojan horses; in the future, hiring should include background checks.

According to a report by Forbes, a new report from CrowdStrike shows that Famous Chollima, a North Korea–backed hacking group, accounted for 47% of human-operated intrusion incidents targeting technology companies in North America, Europe, and Asia between April 2025 and March 2026. The group infiltrated corporate networks by applying for remote software development roles, then deployed malware and stole cryptocurrencies belonging to blockchain developers. The report says the United States previously coordinated with 15 other countries to carry out a crackdown on the group’s technical infrastructure and crypto-related businesses. In addition, CrowdStrike warned that artificial intelligence is accelerating the complexity, scale, and speed of cyberattacks, and that the group has also used AI to improve attack efficiency.
