According to Decrypt, Minh Phuong Ngoc Vong, a 40-year-old Maryland man, has been sentenced to 15 months in prison and three years of supervised release for helping North Korean agents infiltrate U.S. tech companies. Between 2021 and 2024, Vong used false credentials to secure software development jobs for at least 13 U.S. companies, paying him over $970,000 in salary, while the actual work was done remotely by North Korean agents located in China. Some of these companies also outsourced Vong's services to U.S. government agencies, including the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), giving these agents unauthorized access to sensitive government systems.
