Five Americans Plead Guilty to Enabling North Korea IT Fraud

⚖️ The U.S. Department of Justice announced five U.S. citizens pleaded guilty for facilitating North Korea’s illicit IT worker and revenue-generation schemes. The defendants hosted company-issued laptops, supplied or sold U.S. identities, and helped overseas IT workers pass vetting to obtain jobs at American firms. DOJ says the schemes impacted more than 136 U.S. companies, generated over $2.2 million for the DPRK, and compromised the identities of more than 18 U.S. persons.
