Two U.S. Nationals Sentenced for Running Laptop Farms in $5 Million DPRK Remote Worker Scheme

**Executive summary:** The U.S. Department of Justice sentenced two individuals who ran a DPRK-linked remote employment fraud operation that used "laptop farms," KVM switches, and shell companies to place North Korean operatives in roles at over 100 U.S. companies, compromise at least 80 American identities, generate over $5 million, and exfiltrate proprietary and ITAR-controlled data; authorities seized domains and financial accounts and continue to seek additional fugitives.
