The Justice Department announced on June 30 its latest hit in the game of geopolitical whac-a-mole against North Korea's nuclear weapons programs.
The department said on Monday that it had conducted a series of coordinated actions, including "two indictments, an arrest, searches of 29 known or suspected 'laptop farms' across 16 states, and the seizure of 29 financial accounts used to launder illicit funds and 21 fraudulent websites," after North Korean IT workers "successfully obtained employment with more than 100 U.S. companies" with the help of "individuals in the United States, China, United Arab Emirates, and Taiwan."
