Yea but do they do the work that you hired them to do?This story makes it sound like anyone using Freelancers has probably hired North Korean hackers. I assume the story is true, but everything seems like a war on small businesses lately:
"The Justice Department said Wednesday that IT workers dispatched and contracted by North Korea to work remotely with companies in St. Louis and elsewhere in the US have been using false identities to get the jobs. The money they earned was funneled to the North Korean weapons program, FBI leaders said at a news conference in St. Louis."
"Jay Greenberg, special agent in charge of the St. Louis FBI office, said any company that hired freelance IT workers "more than likely" hired someone participating in the scheme. An FBI spokeswoman said Thursday that the North Koreans contracted with companies across the US and in some other countries."
