The U.S. Department of Justice has indicted 14 North Korean nationals in connection with a fraudulent IT worker scheme, part of a broader effort to combat North Korea's cyber activities. This indictment follows reports of North Korean hackers stealing $34 million from a cryptocurrency startup by impersonating venture capitalists. The FBI has noted that this tactic is part of a larger pattern, with state-backed hackers allegedly having stolen over $3 billion from various entities. Additionally, more than $107,000 was reportedly siphoned from a Florida college due to hacking incidents. These developments highlight ongoing concerns regarding North Korea's cyber operations and their impact on U.S. businesses and institutions.
