      Maybe they lied in the call and said they weren’t a North Korean hacker. That would be the kind of devious thing a hacker might do.

        They submitted a deep fake photo and never did a call.

        To prevent a repeat, KnowBe4 is advising its peers in the industry to consider interviewing prospective employees on a video call to ensure they’re real

          Holy shit, this is classic. The next time I let my ADHD get the better of me and I accidentally click on a link in a spoof phishing email (and, yes, try to log in to whatever account they told me there was a problem with because I’m an idiot, you’re so perfect, shut up) sent as a test by the IT department which results in them requiring me to take some KnowBe4 refresher course, I’m sending them this article and telling them “This one is a freebie.”

          Oh lol, my company is/was using them to produce testing phishing emails to determine if employees can spot them. It is quite ironic they fell for the ultimate phish.

        Hey now, it’s even on the USA visa application:

        Do you seek to engage in or have you ever engaged in terrorist activities, espionage, sabotage, or genocide? ☐

      Business outsources work they were hired to do : smart business! Employee outsources his work he was hired to do: scam!

      I hate that.

      This is what would freak me out about work-from-home. If you can do your job from your living room, someone can probably also do it from China (and for a lot less money).
