美国司法部周二宣布，因朝鲜就业诈骗案起诉14人。朝鲜IT工人使用被盗姓名，在美国70多家公司获得远程工作。
The US Justice Department has charged 14 people over a North Korean job scam, announced on Tuesday. North Korean IT workers used stolen names to get remote jobs at more than 70 US firms.
检方认为，这些工人赚取了约300万美元，这些款项流向了受美国制裁的朝鲜团体。该公司在健康、电信、网络支持、零售和制造业领域开展业务，覆盖17个州以及华盛顿特区。
The workers earned about $3 million, which went to North Korean groups under US sanctions, prosecutors believe. The firm works in health, telecoms, cyber support, retail, and manufacturing across 17 states and Washington, DC.
此外，来自宾夕法尼亚州和得克萨斯州的两名美国公民被捕。他们以及另外12人（包括10名在中国的个人）在俄亥俄州被指控电信欺诈、洗钱和身份盗窃。两名被告未被点名，指控仅为指控；所有被告均被推定为无罪。
Moreover, two US nationals, from Pennsylvania and Texas, have been arrested. They and 12 others, including 10 people based in China, are charged with wire fraud, money laundering, and identity theft in Ohio. Two of the defendants have not been named, and the charges are allegations; all defendants are presumed innocent.
起诉书称，自2019年至2025年7月左右，这些工人使用伪造或被盗的身份证件申请工作。在线工具使其看起来像是在美国境内工作。
From 2019 to around July 2025, the workers used fake or stolen ID papers to apply, the indictment says. Online tools made it look as if they were working from inside the US.
他们还在美国雇佣帮手运行所谓的“笔记本电脑农场”。这些帮手将工作笔记本电脑放在家中，并进行设置，使工人能够从国外使用这些设备。随后，他们将工资转入由朝鲜运营的账户，检方称。
They also paid helpers in the US to run so-called laptop farms. The helpers kept work laptops at home and set them up so the workers could use them from abroad. They then moved the pay to accounts run by North Korea, prosecutors said.
9月份的一次独立行动中，FBI在得克萨斯州搜查了超过40处疑似笔记本电脑农场的住所。他们查获了约187台笔记本电脑及其他设备。
In a separate operation in September, the FBI searched more than 40 homes in Texas suspected of being laptop farms. It seized about 187 laptops and other devices.
“朝鲜的流氓政权利用其广泛的IT工人计划，为各种非法目的筹集收入，包括开发可能最终针对美国或其盟友的武器，”国家安全事务助理司法部长约翰·艾森伯格表示。
“North Korea’s rogue regime uses its pervasive IT worker schemes to raise revenue for various illicit purposes, including the development of weapons that could ultimately target the United States or its allies,” said John Eisenberg, the assistant attorney general for national security.
FBI还向企业发出了新的警告，称朝鲜工人越来越多地雇佣美国人帮助他们规避检测，且有些人将整个工作转交给其他外国人。FBI如是说。
The FBI also issued a new warning to companies as North Korean workers are increasingly hiring Americans to help them avoid detection, and some pass whole jobs on to other foreign nationals, it said.
安全公司CrowdStrike曾协助FBI，将该组织追踪为“著名千里马”。朝鲜黑客还自行开发了用于攻击的AI工具，并在针对程序员的假冒软件包中植入恶意软件。
Security firm CrowdStrike, which helped the FBI, tracks the group as ‘Famous Chollima’. North Korean hackers have also built their own AI tools for attacks, and hidden malware in fake software packages aimed at coders.
