Podcast claims North Korean IT workers are infiltrating U.S. companies

The acclaimed podcast "To Catch a Thief" is set to investigate the growing trend of North Korean IT professionals infiltrating U.S. companies by securing remote developer positions. Host Nicole Perlroth, known for her in-depth reporting, will share her findings with CBS News.

Perlroth's investigation delves into the sophisticated methods employed by North Korea to leverage its IT talent pool for financial gain, often circumventing international sanctions. The podcast aims to shed light on how these individuals are hired and integrated into American tech firms, raising questions about cybersecurity and national security.

The series promises to uncover the scale of this operation and the potential risks associated with foreign state-sponsored actors gaining access to sensitive U.S. company networks. "To Catch a Thief" has previously tackled complex global issues, and this new season is expected to bring a similar level of scrutiny and detail to the subject of North Korean cyber activities.
