Smile, you’re on camera! Livestreaming from North Korea’s IT workers laptop farm

March 19, 10:30 (CAMPUS)

We infiltrated a cell of North Korean IT workers dedicated to obtaining remote employment for the DPRK, targeting Latin American financial and crypto sectors, attributed to Famous Chollima (Lazarus Group). Over several months, we went through their complete recruitment process, then set up sandboxed environments that let us film their operations from the inside.


The talk shows exclusive interviews with DPRK operatives and live recordings from a laptop farm we built following their exact specifications. Whilst they believed they had remote access to legitimate work systems, we captured everything: how they set up their infrastructure, their authentication procedures, VPN configurations, and daily operations.


We recorded DPRK agents setting up the sandboxed systems and troubleshooting technical issues we deliberately introduced to sabotage their attempts to get jobs. The material includes video footage from inside an active operation, unedited conversations with handlers, and technical artifacts collected during the engagement.
This covers their entire pipeline from initial contact through fake job offers to setting up remote work infrastructure, all documented with recordings and evidence gathered directly from the operation.
