Today, Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control sanctioned a North Korea-based trading company, a Chinese front company, and two individuals for their roles in a fraudulent IT worker scheme orchestrated by the North Korean government.
North Korea utilizes IT workers to generate revenue for its illicit weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs. These networks use fraudulent documents, stolen identities, and false personas to deliberately obfuscate their identities and infiltrate legitimate companies, including in the United States.
