North Korean IT specialists are earning hundreds of millions of dollars in the American tech sector – WSJ.

According to investigators and the U.S. Department of Justice, thousands of North Korean programmers are secretly employed by American companies, using stolen identities and deepfakes. In the U.S., accomplices create "laptop farms" to conceal the actual location of the workers.

Some specialists work for multiple companies simultaneously, earning up to $300,000 per year. It is claimed that up to 90% of the income goes to North Korea, amounting to up to $800 million annually to fund its missile and nuclear programs.
