OFAC sanctioned two individuals and four entities tied to North Korean IT worker revenue generation for DPRK weapons programs. The action names Department 53, Korea Osong Shipping, Chonsurim Trading Corporation, Jong In Chol, Son Kyong Sik, and Liaoning China Trade Industry Co., Ltd. Treasury says DPRK IT workers use aliases and falsified credentials to obtain freelance software, mobile app, website, and cryptocurrency exchange work, with the government withholding up to 90 percent of their wages. The release frames the network as part of North Korea's sanctions-evasion apparatus and links the revenue to WMD and ballistic missile programs.
