North Korea sent me abroad to be a secret IT worker. My wages funded the regime
In a rare interview, a former North Korean IT worker reveals the secret scheme raising funds for Kim Jong Un’s regime.
Hasnain says:
“Jin-su is still working in IT now he's defected. He says the skills he honed working for the regime have helped him settle into his new life.
Because he isn't working multiple jobs with fake IDs, he earns less than when he worked for the North Korean regime. But because he can keep more of his earnings, overall, he has more money in his own pocket.
"I had got used to making money by doing illegal things. But now I work hard and earn the money I deserve."”
