The Department of Justice has indicted five individuals, including North Korean nationals and U.S. citizens, for a fraudulent multi-year scheme obtaining remote IT jobs with numerous U.S. companies. The suspects used remote access software to conceal their locations and provided forged identity documents to facilitate employment. The scheme, running from 2018 to 2024, led to significant illicit earnings, with payments amounting to over $866,000, most of which were laundered through a Chinese bank. Authorities emphasize the need to combat North Korea's cybercrimes aimed at evading sanctions.
U.S. authorities have indicted five individuals for allegedly orchestrating a multi-year scheme to fraudulently secure remote IT employment with over 64 American companies.
