🔐 $7.7M Crypto Scam Busted: North Korean Hackers Posed as Remote IT Workers in U.S. Firms! 🇰🇵💻💸

In a shocking cyber fraud case, the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has taken action against North Korean hackers who were secretly working in American companies by pretending to be freelance IT workers! 😳

💼 These hackers used fake identities and U.S. resident credentials to land remote IT jobs, and through those positions, they illegally earned over $7.7 million in crypto, which was then funneled to fund the North Korean regime! 🔥

📍 The investigation also revealed links to the infamous Lazarus Group, a state-backed North Korean hacker network.

They stole data from U.S.-based victims and made illegal crypto transactions, with proceeds believed to support military and missile programs! 🚀

🛡 The DOJ has now filed a forfeiture petition for the seized crypto funds and issued a warning that such cyber scams are a serious global security threat.

🔍 Not every remote hire is safe. Transparency and vigilance are critical in the crypto and digital hiring space!
