Chinese companies are secretly powering North Korea's global IT workers scheme

A host of Chinese front companies could be helping North Korean IT workers infiltrate U.S. businesses, a report reveals.
Chinese companies have been secretly assisting North Korean IT workers in a scheme to infiltrate Fortune 500 companies, according to a report by Fortune on May 14, 2025.
