(from the indictment link) > Christina Marie CHAPMAN, a U.S. national, conspired with certain overseas IT workers to affect a scheme to defraud the United States and its agencies. Specifically, CHAPMAN: (i) assisted the overseas IT workers in validating stolen identity information of U.S. citizens so the overseas IT workers could pose as U.S. citizens; (ii) received and hosted laptops issued by U.S. companies to the overseas IT workers in her U.S. residences (a “laptop farm”), so that the companies believed the workers to be located in the United States. I think if the US govt makes such cases public, puts a few news stories out in popular media, indicating the harsh sentences and such, it might make US citizens think twice about helping NK hackers set up their base here.
