North Korea's Laptop Farmers: 2 More Convicted
Description
US courts sentenced two more laptop farmers to eighteen months in prison for aiding North Korean IT workers in infiltrating American companies. This brings the total convictions to eight in just five months by the Justice Department. The scheme involves North Korea targeting tech jobs, particularly in crypto, using stolen identities to steal company secrets or assets. The CrowdStrike report showed a significant increase in North Korean hires, with over three hundred twenty companies targeted in a year. Companies are advised to strengthen their hiring checks to prevent further infiltration.
