Google says it has been contacted by several major U.S. companies who unknowingly hired North Koreans .
North Koreans are using fake identities for remote IT roles.
The goal is for workers to earn salaries at multiple companies, generating revenue for the North Korean government.
The tactic is facilitated by someone based in the US who runs a laptop farm where workers' laptops are sent.
Last year , the U.S. Treasury Department announced sanctions on four entities that employ thousands of North Korean IT workers who help illicitly finance the regime's missile and weapons-of-mass-destruction programs.
KnowBe4 has come forward to acknowledge hiring a worker last year that it later discovered was part of the same scheme.
