Federal authorities say that thousands of information technology workers contracting with U.S. companies secretly sent millions of dollars of their wages to North Korea for use in its ballistic missile program

The workers used various techniques to make it look like they were working in the U.S., including paying Americans to use their home Wi-Fi connections

Greenberg said any company that hired freelance IT workers “more than likely” hired someone participating in the scheme.

“We can tell you that there are thousands of North Korea IT workers that are part of this,” spokeswoman Rebecca Wu said.

Wow this is so much bigger than I initially thought. Just how many companies were duped into hiring North Koreans?
