Federal authorities and CrowdStrike publicly announced the operation targeting what officials describe as a primary method of funding North Korea's weapons program alongside cryptocurrency theft. Brett Leatherman, head of the FBI's cyber division, stated the coordination exemplifies the bureau's new cyber strategy emphasizing private-sector collaboration.
The Record
“Every one of these jobs is funding a stream for a nuclear and ballistic missiles program obtained with the stolen identity of an American and the trust of an American employer.”
