The North Korean officials accused the US Department of Justice (DOJ) of running a “absurd spot campaign” after making this announcement that it had highlighted several schemes by the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) to fund the government through distance information technology work for American companies.
Earlier this week, DOJ stated that North Korean actors were helped by individuals in the US, China, United Emirates and Taiwan to get employment with more than 100 American companies, including Fortune 500 companies.
In this scheme, workers allegedly received laptops from companies who hired them and allowed remote North Korean IT workers to reach the computer. In another scheme, North Korean IT workers used false identity to get employment with a blockchain research and development company in Atlanta, Georgia, and stole over $ 900,000 in virtual currency.
As part of its announcement about the North Korean plan, DOJ has ignored the five-fifteen prosecution against the US National Living, Zenxing Wang in New Jersey, which has ever been arrested.

Wang and his co-ancients, DOJ, said, obtained distance IT work with American companies and generated more than $ 5 million in revenue.
Apart from this, the Chinese citizens charged in the prosecution are Jing bin Huang, Bauu Jhou, Tong Yuz, Yongze Joo, Ziau Yuan and Jhenbang Zhou. Liu and Anchia Liu were also accused by the citizens of Taiwan.
Also, the US National Cazia “Tony” was also from Wang, New Jersey, which was charged separately.

The spokesperson said, “The recent incident is an absurd spot campaign and a serious violation of sovereignty aimed at tarnishing the image of our state as it is a continuity of the hostile step of a gradual US administration, which has spoken a lot about the non-existence ‘cyber threat’ from DPRK.” “The DPRK Foreign Ministry expresses serious concern over the provocation of US judicial officials who are threatening and encroaching our citizens by creating the baseless ‘cyber’ drama, and encroaching on the safety, rights and interests of our citizens, and strongly condemns it and rejects it.”
The spokesperson accused the US of creating “international cyberspace instability”, not DPRK.
The spokesperson said, “The US has long been constantly pose a threat to the cyber space of DPRK and other sovereign states, creating a view of the cyber space war and abuse the cyber issue as a political weapon to tarnish the image of other countries and disrupt the practice of their valid rights.”
“The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has the right to make a proper and proportional retaliation to protect the safety and rights of their citizens from judicial enforcement for a terrible political purpose, and to call the external people who take malicious action into strict legal accounts,” the spokesperson concluded.
The DOJ stated that the prosecution alleged that from 2021 and most from 2021, defendants and other co-speculators compromised the identity of more than 80 people in the US to get distant jobs in more than 100 companies. As a result, the aggrieved companies suffered losses to legal fees, computer network remade costs and other losses and at least $ 3 million tune.

Cagia and Zenxing, along with at least four other American features, allegedly helped foreign IT workers with various parts of the scheme.
Cazia and Zenxing allegedly established shell companies with websites and financial accounts to reveal as if IT workers abroad were affiliated to legitimate businesses in the US, both allegedly received funds from American companies, and money was transferred abroad to cooperatives.
In exchange for their services, Cazia, Zenxing and four other conspirators in the US received at least $ 696,000 from IT workers.
The DOJ stated that one of the companies had allegedly accessed data that was a defense contractor that develops artificial intelligence-powered equipment and technology. The DOJ said that by reaching the company’s figures, the skimmers were priests in the rules of arms (ITAR) in international traffic.

The DOJ also announced that the FBI and Defense Criminal Search Services (DCIS) seized 17 web domains used as part of the scheme, as well as thousands of dollars with 29 financial accounts, which were used for revenue for North Korean rule.
The DOJ unveiled another part of the scheme, resulting in a five-numbered wire fraud and money laundering prosecution against four North Korean citizens: Kim Quang Jin, Kang Tae Bok, Jong Pong Ju and Change Names II.
