North Korea infiltrates U.S. remote jobs with the help of everyday Americans. Christina Chapman was the operator of a “laptop farm,” filling her home with computers that allowed North Koreans to take jobs as U.S. tech workers and illegally collect $17.1 million in paychecks from more than 300 American companies, according to federal prosecutors.

-
