A barely perceptible keystroke delay was the smoking gun that led to the uncovering of a malign imposter.

Nonsense propaganda from the US tech-lords/Plutocracy. Who gave big tech the power to investigate and convict anyone - without any oversight ? Ridiculous warmongering..

They don't, and the worker wasn't convicted of anything. Where do you see that in the article?

The problem of North Koreans infiltrating U.S. corporations for profit, mischief, and more is undoubtedly a serious one. We’ve covered sizable FBI seizures of equipment recently, perhaps showing just the tip of the iceberg. More successful infiltrations by the DPRK, as well as hostile nations like Iran, Russia, and China, are likely to be ongoing.

Deeply unserious article.
