FBI warns contractors on North Korean IT infiltration

The United States brings a different kind of procurement signal today, one that sits in risk rather than spend. The FBI has warned contractors that North Korean IT workers are trying to obtain positions with cleared defence companies and others with government contracts. That is not a buying notice, but it is highly relevant to anyone selling into sensitive public work. Vendor onboarding, subcontractor checks and workforce verification are not back-office details when contract access itself can be the target.
