The article discusses the challenges organizations face in preventing North Korean infiltration, as outlined by CrowdStrike's Adam Meyers. North Korean operatives have been successfully applying for jobs in Fortune 500 companies, using tactics like AI-generated profiles and false identities. During interviews, they attempt to deflect questions about their leader to avoid revealing their true allegiance, with one effective question being about Kim Jong Un's weight. These infiltrators can produce quality work, furthering concerns about intellectual property theft and cyber threats from inside companies.
My favorite interview question, because we've interviewed quite a few of these folks, is something to the effect of 'How fat is Kim Jong Un?' They terminate the call instantly, because it's not worth it to say something negative about that.
One of the things that we've noted is that you'll have a person in Poland applying with a very complicated name, and then when you get them on Zoom calls it's a military age male Asian who can't pronounce it.
They're masking IPs, exporting laptop farms to America so they can connect into those machines and appear to be working from the USA, and they are using AI.
