🇰🇵🇺🇸 BIG | North Korea has built a secret workforce inside American companies, using stolen identities and artificial intelligence to quietly funnel hundreds of millions of dollars from the U.S. economy directly into Kim Jong Un’s regime. According to The Wall Street Journal, thousands of North Korean IT operatives...

Trump meets families of Japanese abducted by North Korea: “I’m with them all the way” After talks with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, Donald Trump met with families of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1970s and 1980s. Relatives held photos of their loved ones — people the North Korean regime never returned. “I’m with them all the way. America is with them,” Trump said, addressing the group. In the 1970s and 1980s, North Korean intelligence kidnapped Japanese citizens directly from beaches and streets across Japan, forcing them into boats and secretly taking them to North Korea. 🤔 Why? Pyongyang needed native speakers and cultural trainers to teach its spies how to “act Japanese.” Victims were forced to teach language, forge documents, and assist in covert operations under false identities. Some women were coerced into marrying North Korean agents or used to bear “ideal” offspring for espionage training. According to Japan’s official data, at least 17 people were abducted, but independent investigations suggest hundreds may have disappeared. The youngest known victim, Megumi Yokota, was just 13 years old — her family never saw her again. North Korea admitted to some of the abductions only in 2002, when Kim Jong Il sought to ease tensions with Japan. Of the five people who were allowed to return, most spoke of torture and isolation. To this day, dozens of Japanese families still wait for news — and North Korea has yet to be held accountable for these crimes.

Russia has found a source of near-slave labor and “cannon fodder” in North Korea. For Pyongyang, this is a way to earn foreign currency, gain access to Russian resources and technology, while maintaining complete control over its citizens abroad. North Korea has been making money from exporting its workers for decades. According to estimates cited by 38 North, around 100,000 North Korean citizens may be working abroad in approximately 40 countries, generating around $500 million a year for the regime. Russia has now become one of the main destinations. According to South Korean intelligence, around 15,000 North Koreans were already working in Russia by May 2025. Formally, this violates UN sanctions: Resolutions 2375 and 2397 banned the issuance of new work permits to North Korean citizens and required existing workers to be repatriated by the end of 2019. Moscow circumvented these restrictions by using other types of visas. In 2025, Russia issued more than 36,000 visas to North Korean citizens, almost all supposedly for educational purposes. In practice, these “students” go to Russia to work. Now this flow is expanding. Organized groups of North Korean women have begun arriving in Russia to work on assembly lines, in garment factories, kitchens, and farms. Russian employers are offered ready-made groups of at least 40 workers. This marks an important shift: previously, North Korean labor in Russia was associated primarily with men working in construction and logging. ‼️ This is effectively state-sanctioned human trafficking. A major report by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights explicitly describes North Korea’s overseas labor system as involving indicators of forced labor. Former workers told the UN that their passports were confiscated, they were forbidden from leaving workplaces and dormitories independently, and their communications and contacts with the outside world were monitored. People are supervised not only by representatives of North Korea’s Ministry of State Security, but also by group leaders and informants within the work brigades themselves. One former worker in Russia told the UN that a single North Korean intelligence officer monitored around 500 workers through a system of group leaders who reported to him daily. The state also controls the money. Russian employers typically do not pay workers their salaries directly: the money goes to companies linked to North Korea, after which state payments and various expenses are deducted. Human Rights Watch, citing interviews conducted by Global Rights Compliance with 21 North Korean workers in three Russian cities, reports that they worked 12-16-hour days and, in some cases, up to 364 days a year. With a salary of around $800 a month, approximately $600 could be taken by the North Korean state, and after additional deductions for travel, accommodation, and other expenses, workers were sometimes left with as little as $10. For Russia, this is particularly beneficial now. The war itself has created a labor shortage: hundreds of thousands of men have been mobilized or recruited into the military, large numbers of people have been killed or wounded, some of the population has left the country, and the defense industry is drawing workers away from other sectors. Moscow is now trying to fill part of this labor shortage with North Koreans. In July 2025, 38 North reported that North Korean workers had returned to Russia’s Far East on a scale not seen there since before the pandemic. But Pyongyang is supplying Russia with more than just workers. In autumn 2024, North Korea began deploying regular military units to Russia. The first wave consisted of approximately 14,000-15,000 troops, whom Russia primarily used in combat in the Kursk region. These were not individual mercenaries who had independently signed Russian contracts, but soldiers of the Korean People’s Army sent at the decision of the North Korean state. Moscow and Pyongyang concealed their involvement for several months and officially acknowledged it only in spring 2025. The casualties were extremely high. South Korean intelligence estimated that around 600 North Korean soldiers had been killed out of approximately 15,000 deployed, while Western estimates of total casualties - killed and wounded - exceeded 6,000. In June 2025, Reuters also reported more than 6,000 casualties among the North Korean contingent. This means that a very significant portion of the initial force may have suffered casualties over a relatively short period of combat. The North Korean state portrays these deaths as heroic sacrifices. In August 2025, Kim Jong Un publicly met with the families of those killed and promised to ensure they would have a “wonderful life.” State propaganda began referring to the fallen as martyrs and heroes. And Russia intends to continue using this resource. On July 25, Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia was preparing to receive another 30,000 North Korean troops. On August 9, he gave a range of 30,000-50,000. Reuters has not independently confirmed these figures, so for now they should be presented specifically as an assessment by the Ukrainian side. However, the preparations for a new deployment fit into the already established model of Russian-North Korean cooperation.

🚨 The North Korea Propaganda Pipeline Is Now Running Through Fashion TikTok - “You guys know North Korea is basically another Palestine, right?” Madeline Pendleton is a massively influential fashion TikToker, a Penguin Random House author, and the CEO of fashion company Tunnel Vision. In short, a creator with millions of young followers who see her as "being in the know." And this week she’s using that platform to mainline pro–North Korea propaganda straight into lifestyle content. “My hope is that by the end of the story, you will side with North Korea as well, because you will come to understand that similarly, it is the right thing to do, even if it is not super popular.” Then immediately reframes the DPRK as an anti-colonial liberation struggle. “You guys know North Korea is basically another Palestine, right?” From there, it’s a straight pipeline of revisionism: South Korea is a “US neo-colony,” the North “entered the South with an army in an effort to expel the American foreign occupying force,” and the invasion was “kind of like an October 7th situation.” She even tells her audience that the USSR “didn’t really have to do much” because the North Korean people were already communists. What makes this even more dangerous is how effortlessly meme-fiable North Korea already is. The aesthetics, the kitsch, the surreal propaganda, the absurd lore all of it fits perfectly into irony-poisoned internet culture. Ironic fascination turns into playful fandom, and playful fandom turns into political sympathy. This is how authoritarian mythology seeps into youth culture: first as a joke, then as a "vibe," then as a belief.

North Korea has stolen $6.75 billion from Silicon Valley and nobody knows how to stop them. And just last week, they pulled off one of the most insane heists in tech history... A North Korean intelligence unit created a FAKE quantitative trading firm: - Built a website - Printed business cards - Showed up at crypto conferences across multiple countries - Shook hands with founders - Had real conversations about strategy and partnerships They didn't rush anything. They spent 6 months building relationships. They deposited a million dollars of real capital into the protocol to look legitimate. They collaborated on shared code repositories. And they even distributed what looked like a normal wallet app through Apple's TestFlight. Then one night they flipped the switch... They exploited access they'd quietly gained over months, removed withdrawal limits, and drained $271 MILLION from almost 20 vaults. USDC, USDT, wrapped Bitcoin, wrapped Ethereum. Everything converted and moved from Solana to Ethereum within hours. Split across wallets. Gone. CoinDesk confirmed it was a North Korean state operation. But the Drift hack is just the latest example of something much bigger: North Korea stole $2 billion in crypto in 2025. A 51% increase from the year before. They were responsible for 76% of ALL crypto service hacks globally. And they pulled it off with 74% fewer attacks. Fewer attacks. Way more money per hit. Each operation more patient and more devastating than the last. Their playbook has evolved past anything the industry expected. North Korean operatives now embed themselves as fake employees inside Western tech companies. They've shifted from applying for jobs to posing as RECRUITERS for crypto and web3 startups. They run fake technical screenings where they steal credentials, source code, and establish remote access to internal systems. They sit in Slack channels. Attend standups. Review pull requests. For months. Then they strike. And it's spreading beyond crypto too: This same week, North Korean hackers compromised Axios, an open-source software package used by thousands of American companies. Hijacked a developer's account and pushed malicious updates to every organization that downloaded the software during a 3 hour window. Security experts say the damage could take months to unravel. Mercor, the AI recruiting startup valued at $10 billion that works with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta, confirmed it was also caught in a related supply chain attack. The money funds North Korea's nuclear weapons program, missile development, and regime. Silicon Valley is literally financing Pyongyang's warheads and doesn't even realize it. Security researchers keep saying the same thing: "We may be seeing only the most visible portion of their activities." If the attacks we know about total $6.75 billion, what's the real number? North Korea has turned tech theft into a national industry. They train operatives for years. Build fake companies. Play the long game. And every time the industry catches up, Pyongyang evolves. The most sophisticated state-sponsored theft operation in history is happening inside the ecosystem that's supposed to be building the future of finance. What do you think?

There is evidence that North Korea’s alliance with Moscow brings little economic benefit - researcher Olena Huseynova from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies in Seoul, in a study for the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, reported by Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ). I was not surprised when I read this - Russia always lies and betrays its partners when it has the chance. There are reports that Russia is also helping North Korea develop its unmanned devices program. But I'm curious how that partnership is playing out. Also, friends, if you have any information on the general amount of different weapons in the North Korean army, I'd be grateful for it. North Korea provided Russian forces with weapons, ammunition, and troops worth up to $9.8 billion (over a third of its annual economy) while direct Russian supplies to North Korea totaled only $1.2 billion, according to the study. South Korean intelligence notes growing tension between Kim Jong Un and Putin. North Korea sent soldiers and large amounts of weaponry, expecting food, arms support, strategic technology, or economic compensation. Russia has not sufficiently reciprocated. Kim reportedly complained to Putin, who responded with reproach. North Korea contributed: * 15,000 troops * up to 6.7 million artillery shells * 1.24 million mortar shells * 878,300 rockets for MLRS * 248 KN-23/24 ballistic missiles * 794 howitzers and launchers Russia mainly provides food, oil, limited air defense systems, GPS jammers, and possibly aircraft, with little other significant aid or foreign currency. Moscow may be keeping Pyongyang dependent. EU security committee head Maria-Agnès Strack-Zimmermann adds that Putin uses North Korea as a puppet to project influence in the Indo-Pacific. South Korean lawmaker Park Sung-won says Kim is also frustrated by the lack of long-term partnership prospects, as Putin avoids discussing the future despite Kim’s desire to continue the alliance. 📹: Pyongyang ahead of Putin's visit last summer
