I Found North Korean Spies on Discord…

North Korean Spies on Discord... this has to be a joke or some clickbait nonsense. But from the bottom of my non-existent heart, I think there is a recruitment program ran by North Korea on Discord. Meant to trick unknowing Discord users into supporting North Korean IT workers (DPRK IT), to gain access to funds and potentially private corporate information. The worst part about this whole investigation, is that I stumbled upon it by mistake. I was looking for Discord freelancing servers to make money on Discord. And between some obvious scams, I managed to find something that I didn't understand. And I unfortunately dug deeper than I maybe should have.
