An Arizona woman has been accused of helping generate millions of dollars for North Korea’s ballistic missile program
Obviously the whole thing is illegal regardless but there was no evidence of the above claim in the article. I can't tell if it's real or if it's like those old propaganda claims that buying drugs is funding terrorism.
The charges in this case should be a wakeup call for American companies and government agencies that employ remote IT workers
Certainly reads more like government/corporate propaganda than an objective report.
> Christina Marie Chapman, 49, of Litchfield Park, Arizona, raised $6.8 million in the scheme, federal prosecutors said in an indictment unsealed Thursday. Chapman allegedly funneled the money to North Korea’s Munitions Industry Department, which is involved in key aspects of North Korea’s weapons program, including its development of ballistic missiles.
The indictment is linked right there if you want to read it.

She forged checks and trafficked stolen identities. She may not have known she was doing it for Pyongyang. But that’s the point of anti-money laundering laws.
