🚨 North Korea is infiltrating your hiring pipeline.

Forget ransomware. Pyongyang’s latest export? Fake remote tech workers.
Here’s how the scheme works:
💻 Stolen or AI-enhanced resumes
🎭 Deepfaked video interviews
🌎 U.S. “facilitators” running laptop farms
💸 Salaries quietly funneled back to North Korea
⚠️ Access to systems + data = silent sabotage risk

At least 300 companies have been compromised—media, aerospace, Big Tech, even defense contractors.

The tools? Not malware, but ChatGPT, deepfakes, VPNs, and look-alikes.

The fix? Rigorous ID verification, reference checks, and vigilant onboarding. But even that might not be enough.

🤔 Are your remote hires really who they claim to be?
