North Korean Hackers Masquerading as Job Applicants

CrowdStrike and the FBI report that North Korean hackers are infiltrating US companies by posing as job applicants to steal intellectual property and deploy malware. They use AI to generate fake resumes and cleverly avoid questions during interviews (such as those about Kim Jong Un). They even utilize 'laptop farms' in the US to mask their IP addresses. While these hackers often excel at their jobs, companies need to increase vigilance, enhance security measures like conducting coding tests in-house, and avoid fully remote hiring to prevent such attacks.
