DOJ: North Korean Hackers Infiltrate Dozens of US Companies

The U.S. Department of Justice and FBI have taken action against a network that enabled North Korean IT workers to secure remote jobs at U.S. companies, aiming to disrupt funding for North Korea's weapons programs. In 'Operation Lonestar Roundup', FBI raids in Texas led to the seizure of 187 devices from more than 40 homes, including laptops and KVM switches. Two American facilitators were arrested in Ohio, and over 180 computers were seized from laptop farms. The hackers infiltrated at least 70 U.S. companies across 17 states using stolen identities, generating around $3 million. CrowdStrike assisted the FBI, highlighting the use of 'laptop farms' to conceal true locations. The DOJ warns that North Korea increasingly relies on American facilitators, and companies are urged to come forward.
