FBI disrupts North Korean 'laptop farms' used to fund weapons programs

The FBI disrupted North Korean laptop farms across Texas to stop the funding of weapons programs. Federal officials conducted raids at over 40 locations where fraudulent remote workers infiltrated U.S. companies. According to the Justice Department, these operations were controlled by North Korea to secure remote jobs and finance its nuclear program. Brett Leatherman of the FBI Cyber Division and Adam Meyers from CrowdStrike discussed the crackdown, which resulted in the seizure of nearly 190 laptops.
