Calling it, this is all 100% fake actually (good things never happen and the DPRK doing this would be super cool) and is just being made up to, duh duh duh duhhhhh, force remote workers back into the office!
If there isn't a court case demonstrating these americans that do the laptop in america part then it's total bullshit. They would take someone to court for collaborating with DPRK even if they're innocent.

I love the language used throughout this article, calling the companies victims, saying the North Koreans "raked in" almost $900k
they got jobs! They DID WORK and then GOT PAID! No company was at any point a victim unless you mean "a victim of being lied to"
Poor struggling business owners being robbed blind by parasitic workers stripping away what little wealth they have with the dastardly excuse of having "earned it."
