The indictment details how they exploited remote access software to operate company computers sent to US-based co-conspirators, highlighting ongoing efforts by North Korea to circumvent international sanctions and generate financial support through illicit means.
The indictment alleges that a conspiracy centered on North Korean nationals leveraging fake identities to secure IT contracts, ultimately diverting funds to support the North Korean regime.
