The FBI believes that there are currently thousands of North Koreans secretly working for American companies by assuming the identity of an American, then using that identity to get a remote job.

Now, they’re trying to crack down on the practice, and the best way to figure out who’s real and who’s not, it seems, is seeing how much they like the Minions.

According to the Wall Street Journal, for some reason, while there are differences in all of these North Korean remote workers, the one consistent through-line seems to be their love of the Minions and Despicable Me characters. The workers won’t only share Minions memes, but they’ll even incorporate Minions character names into their usernames and email addresses.

It’s not currently believed to be some kind of secret code. It seems like, genuinely, North Koreans hackers just really, really like the Minions. They like them so much, in fact, that researchers looking into potential North Korean hackers will see any reference to the films as an indication that they may be working for the Kim regime.

That, or it’s just a Boomer who loves the Minions. Hard to say sometimes!
