I suspect what they did here was recover the laptop and capture the collaborator while managing to ensure that the remote worker who was logging into that laptop was unaware of its capture.

Then at that point they could then measure the ping between the laptop and the DPRK worker in order to find the location of the person logging into it.

There's still information missing about how they would have caught the collaborator though.
