Wall Street Journal: “More than 40 countries have been targeted or involved in North Korea’s cyber work, according to a U.S.-led consortium of 11 nations documenting Pyongyang’s sanctions violations. The cyber agents are largely based in China and Russia, where the internet connection is stronger and won’t trace back to North Korea. They generated up to $800 million for the Kim regime in 2024, the group said.”
“American companies sit atop the list of targets because of the high pay and intelligence-gathering value. But the North Koreans don’t just work alone.”
“They seek to appear more credible to employers by paying Americans to host so-called ‘laptop farms,’ where company-issued computers can be shipped and then used remotely by the North Koreans to appear online as if they were U.S.-based personnel.”
