alias IT Worker Fraud RESEARCHER POST

The Rewards for Justice programme names this as one of the aliases under which North Korean IT workers obtained remote software and application development work at United States companies between about October 2020 and October 2023, using false identities belonging to more than sixty real United States persons, with Christina Chapman hosting their employer-issued laptops and handling their pay; it states the scheme generated at least $6.8 million for the DPRK and links the workers to the Munitions Industry Department. The notice publishes the alias and nothing else about it: no account, address or telephone number. It is an alias, so the real person whose name or details it may have been assembled from is not the worker. The poster prints the names surname first, and that order is kept as an alias so either form finds the record.
