In a groundbreaking move, the U.S. Treasury has sanctioned the world’s most notorious IT scam artist, who was just one ‘Hello, sir/madam’ email away from inheriting your spam folder. The criminal masterminds of Andariel reportedly wept in their keyboards as their fraudulent empire came crashing down.

Song Kum Hyok, the evil genius behind the operation, has been operating out of Jilin, China, where he single-handedly managed to redefine ‘remote work’ in North Korea. Who knew that the true potential of a North Korean IT career was not in boundaries of code, but in boundaries of country?

Meanwhile, virtual IT ’employees’ everywhere are in shock, fearing the prospect of having to pick up actual technical skills or, even worse, engaging in honest work. Hackers are said to be holding a candlelight vigil via Zoom, where they will share memories and phishing schemes in Hyok’s honor.
