North Korea Infiltrated U.S. Tech—Here’s How They Did It

PuleWave Season 2 Episode 1

In this full episode of Pulse Wave 2.1, we go deep on a disturbing new story: how the North Korean government infiltrated over 100 U.S. companies—including defense contractors—using remote job platforms, stolen American identities, and AI-generated GitHub profiles.

But that’s just the opening salvo.

We also unpack:

Why insider threats often start at the résumé stage

How federal procurement can’t even fail efficiently

Why security clearances ≠ trustworthiness

And how a fake intern and a lunchroom convo can tank a contract

💥 Featuring:

Virgil: Your host with a monologue that hits hard on AI fear and federal dysfunction

Rob: Arguing that America has become “a liability” in the cronyism Olympics

Tommy: Offering frontline insight on recruiting risk and résumé red flags

If you’re in tech, security, hiring, defense, or just curious how deep the dysfunction goes—this episode hits hard.
