The Justice Department said it had indicted and arrested at least two people and searched more than 40 suspected "laptop farms" across Texas, seizing more than 180 computers that companies had shipped to new hires who were in fact North Korean workers using stolen US identities. Prosecutors said at least 70 US companies, in healthcare, retail, communications, manufacturing and cyber support across Ohio and 16 other states plus DC, were infiltrated, generating about $3 million. CrowdStrike helped the FBI investigate; the FBI separately warned there are "thousands" of such workers at Western companies.
