North Korea's efforts have been evolving.

In the past, they just tried to break into bank computers, then into crypto company's computers. For the last two years, they've been working on getting people into crypto companies.

But now they appear to have enough people to spare than they also have groups working on "honest" employment as remote workers, who may not even have theft as the first thing on their mind.

Here's a federal case where a US woman was convicted of helping North Korea steal the identities of 70 people, and then remote in as them, to do remote work:

It's not just crypto, nearly all orgs at this point. As someone building in this space, it's pretty clear the N Koreans developed a deepfake toolkit that is being used/sold amongst the N Korean hacking groups there. Apparently it is for acquiring laptops, salaries to funnel to the State, and internal systems access for further damage.
