Original: FBI Raids 40+ Texas Homes in North Korean Laptop Farm Crackdown
The FBI has raided more than 40 homes in Texas as part of a crackdown on so-called laptop farms, operations in which North Korean IT workers allegedly used US residences and stolen or borrowed identities to hold remote jobs at American companies and funnel salaries back to Pyongyang. The sweep is described as one of the larger enforcement actions against this scheme to date.
Why now: The unusually large scale of the coordinated raids and the novelty of the laptop farm scheme are drawing wide attention.
