Federal prosecutors have charged three North Korean workers and a U.S. citizen in a complex telework scheme that infiltrated over 300 U.S. companies. The scheme, which allegedly generated $6.8 million over three years, involved North Korean IT workers posing as Americans to secure remote work contracts. The revenue from this operation is believed to have funded North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Additionally, an Arizona woman, Christina Chapman, and a Ukrainian man were arrested for their roles in facilitating this fraud. The Justice Department has unsealed the indictment, describing the fraud as 'staggering' and highlighting its impact on multiple Fortune 500 companies.
