Two Americans sentenced for helping North Korea steal $5 million in fake IT worker scheme
Two U.S. citizens were sentenced to seven and a half years and nine years in prison for their roles in a scheme to help the North Korean government place remote IT workers in American companies. On Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice announced the sentencing of Kejia Wang and Zhenxing Wang, both New Jersey residents. The two were accused of providing infrastructure for the fraudulent scheme, in particular for running or managing so-called “laptop farms” inside the U.S., which allowed North Koreans to connect to the laptops and appear like they were living and working in the country.المصدر: TechCrunch | Source: TechCrunch
