Japan Dismantles First North Korean Laptop Farm; Allies Detail WaterPlum Scheme

Japan has dismantled the first North Korean laptop farm, while the US, Japan, Germany, and Australia published a joint report detailing the WaterPlum campaign. The report expands on the scope of North Korean IT worker infiltration, which is a known pattern, but the joint attribution and first takedown mark a coordinated escalation. The operation's full scale and the extent of revenue generated remain uncertain.
