Special thanks to @websterpd for inviting #FBI Boston to participate in this year's Junior Police Academy! Members of our Evidence Response Team had a great time speaking with the cadets about how the meticulous collection of evidence can make or break a case. It requires skill, knowledge & training which they learned first-hand when they put their skills to the test by casting foot prints at a mock crime scene.

Today, the FBI, alongside @StateDept and international partners, released a joint alert on the threat posed by North Korean IT workers. North Korea continues to rely on a network of skilled IT personnel who use false identities, third-party proxies, and increasingly sophisticated methods to conduct malicious cyber activity and generate revenue in support of its unlawful weapons programs.

Investigating and disrupting these schemes remains a top priority for the FBI as we work to protect U.S. companies. So far in 2026 alone, eight individuals have been sentenced to prison for their roles in these schemes.

The alert outlines common tactics used and provides guidance for countries, companies, and online platforms to help identify and mitigate this threat. We urge organizations to stay vigilant and review the full alert for recommendations. https://t.co/lIeKcn0O59

If you believe you may be a victim of this scheme, or need additional information, contact your local FBI field office: https://t.co/ppqfNbzjix

Foreign intelligence services frequently use professional networking websites, social media platforms, and job boards to identify and target individuals under the guise of consulting or employment.

The #FBI is urging everyone—especially those who hold, or have held, security clearances—to be cautious when approached by individuals online regarding career opportunities. Among U.S. foreign adversaries, China is by far the most prolific practitioner. If you believe a foreign agency has contacted you, stop communicating immediately and report the contact to the FBI at https://t.co/KFowvX0YHc. Learn more: https://t.co/9N2aVlxt1o
