North Korea Stole Your Job
It literally did not.
Your Favorite New Coworker Is an AI-Enhanced Operative From North Korea
My favorite new coworker is literally a human from USA.
Why would anybody believe this clickbait?
This is why you don’t take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.
If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you’re probably a mule for money laundering.
If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they’re actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you’re probably working with countries like this.
If they want to use your name for a job application, you don’t have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you’re probably working with countries like this.

No paywall for me, even through different entry/exit nodes.
Wired.com is probably the better alternative here compared to Russia-pwned

Another chapter in the saga! Applying the term Rogue State is probably only an excuse to attack in most cases, but it really applies to DRK.
It’s another of these clearly illegal things one would think should be fairly easy to solve - even without diplomatic drama - yet no government seems to want to notice?

The chicken or the egg, which came first?
If i were to guess, I’d say North Korea doesn’t engage with more standard economic activities because the entire western world refuses to do business with them. So they resort to illegal activities instead.
Not that this excuses much, but countries still need to survive somehow. Cuba is a country that doesn’t do any of the hacking that NK does, but that doesn’t save them from being mercilessly cut off from the world economy either. And NK knows this.
Also, I’m not a north Korean bot and I resent that the discourse around this topic has become so polluted that I have to preface by saying this.
Not that this excuses much
No, it really doesn’t. NK has been totalitarian (practically a monarchy) and militarist since birth, and tyrannical for the most time since. That’s where you need to look when you want to blame someone for people starving there.
I don’t disagree with you.
