We are ENTIRELY too soft on espionage activities. 

We hire people in sensitive areas/industries with WHOLLY inadequate scrutiny for fear of appearing to be #raycis or whatever the favored pejorative is these days. 

IMNSHO, if you're from ANY of the nations on THE list or only 1st or 2nd generations removed from those places, we're gonna crawl so far up your ass we'll see the backsides of your tonsils... repeatedly... without remourse.

If I understand this article correctly, this guy is actually in NK. I don't think that he is in the states acting as a spy.

"Amazon is commendably proactive in its pursuit of impostors, according to the source report. The news site talked with Amazon's Chief Security Officer, Stephen Schmidt, about this fascinating new case of North Koreans trying to infiltrate U.S. organizations to raise hard currency for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), and sometimes indulge in espionage and/or sabotage.

Schmidt says that Amazon has foiled more than 1,800 DPRK infiltration attempts since April 2024. Moreover, the rate of attempts continues apace, with Amazon reckoning it is seeing a 27% QoQ uplift in North Koreans trying to get into the Amazon corporation."

If only our own Department of Energy and Department of War were as diligent. 

It's no coincidence China's 5th Generation fighter jets look so similar to ours.
