Is this the scam where you get duped into hosting dozens of laptops in your home so North Korean operatives can look like they are working from a US location? Yeah, that didn't work out so well for that one lady after she was caught doing this by the FBI and thrown in prison for a couple of decades for aiding a foreign enemy in espionage and money trafficking (or something like that).
That’s interesting. I wouldn’t had thought it’d go that far, but I guess it’s always a rabbit hole with scams.
It's a pretty wild story. More info can be found here.
How much were they paying tho? I can easily see someone doing this for 2 laptops.
