The crypto developer who passes the interview and becomes the security threat

A developer can complete an interview, ship useful code and gain a team’s trust before using the access that comes with the job against the employer. US prosecutions and security investigations show North Korean operatives exploiting that route into crypto businesses. The FBI’s latest warning describes a larger supporting network that can supply identities, interview stand-ins and a local device while the person doing the work remains elsewhere. The June 2025 indictment announced by US prosecutors describes developers hired by an Atlanta blockchain research business and a Serbian token company. According to the allegations, the employers did not know the workers’ true identities. The workers later received projects that gave them access to crypto assets.
