In March 2020, Christina Chapman received a LinkedIn message to represent a company aiding overseas IT workers. Amid the Covid pandemic, she successfully placed North Korean IT workers in prominent US firms, using stolen identities to disguise them as US citizens. This operation funded North Korea's nuclear program and posed risks to US cybersecurity. The transition to remote work facilitated this identity deception, as companies sought talent globally. Chapman's actions resulted in an eight-year prison sentence, illustrating the complexities of international crime, identity theft, and the evolving nature of work during a pandemic.
