Two US Men Jailed for Helping North Korean Hackers Infiltrate US Firms

Two Americans operated "laptop farms" that received company-issued laptops and installed remote-access software so North Korean operatives could impersonate US-based remote workers; the scheme targeted at least 70 companies, generated over $1.2M (mostly sent to North Korea), and lasted for years. The defendants received 18-month prison sentences, were ordered to pay restitution (Prince $89,000; Knoot $15,100), and additional suspects remain at large; the prosecutions are part of the DPRK RevGen: Domestic Enabler Initiative to disrupt domestic assistance to DPRK-linked cyber operations.
