Arizona woman jailed for aiding North Korean remote workers and cyber scheme

A US woman, Christina Chapman, was sentenced to over eight years in prison for stealing the identities of 68 Americans and helping North Koreans pose as Americans to gain employment at over 300 companies, generating $17 million sent to North Korea's nuclear program. She operated from her homes in Arizona and Minnesota, aiding North Korean workers remotely, and shipped laptops to China, Pakistan, UAE, and Nigeria. The scheme, active from 2020 to 2023, highlights ongoing threats from North Korea and the need for vigilance among US companies.
