U.S. sanctions six individuals and two companies for a North Korean fraud scheme that stole $800M via fake IT workers to fund nuclear programs.
The U.S. imposed sanctions on six individuals and two companies linked to a North Korean scheme using stolen identities and forged documents to pose as IT workers, defrauding foreign businesses and funneling nearly $800 million in 2024 to fund the regime’s nuclear and missile programs.
The operation, active since at least 2023, involved networks in North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and Spain, with some workers deploying malware to steal corporate data.
Sanctioned entities include a North Korean IT firm and a Vietnamese company whose CEO is accused of converting $2.5 million into cryptocurrency for North Korea.
The move blocks U.S. assets of the designated parties and bans transactions with them.
