North Korean Tech Infiltrators: The Unseen Threat to Your Company!
CrowdStrike’s Adam Meyers has revealed a foolproof question to weed out North Korean infiltrators during job interviews: “How fat is Kim Jong Un?” This query reportedly causes instant call termination, effectively exposing these fake tech workers. With North Koreans targeting global employers, it’s a comedic yet effective strategy.
Hot Take:
Is it just me, or is the North Korean recruiting process starting to sound like a bizarre episode of “Undercover Boss”? Except instead of the CEO going incognito, it’s an army of stealthy Kim Jong Un fans moonlighting as tech workers. Who knew the job market was the new Cold War battleground, with LinkedIn as the frontline? Maybe it’s time to start asking interviewees not just about their technical skills, but also if they can identify the Supreme Leader in a lineup of chubby dictators.
Key Points:
– North Korean operatives are infiltrating companies globally, using fake profiles and remote working setups.
– A surprisingly effective interview question about Kim Jong Un’s weight exposes many of these operatives.
– These infiltrators excel in their roles due to multiple individuals working on a single job.
– Tactics include using laptop farms and identity theft to legitimize their presence.
– Deepfake technology is advancing, making it harder to detect fraudulent job applicants.
