The State Department announced sanctions against two entities and six individuals involved in operations using Information Technology (IT) workers in foreign countries to generate revenue for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) government. "These government-orchestrated schemes systematically defraud U.S. businesses and direct the illicit proceeds toward the DPRK's weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and ballistic missile programs," State Department Spokesperson Tommy Piggott explained. "DPRK-facilitated IT teams commonly use fraudulent documentation, stolen identities, and fabricated personas to conceal their true identities and gain employment with legitimate companies worldwide." |
