As a remote worker for many years, this isn’t surprising. I’ve seen it and it’s easy to spot when working in a team. The “off hours” work is usually an easy one. Teams camera (which I hate but I get it), knowledge in use cases and troubleshooting, etc all lack. They have turned to “3mon trials” now

Great piece. Isnt’ it fantastic that US cybersecurity operations have been decimated by the convicted felon and DOGE?

Despite what's been said about Return To Office, interviewing in 2025 has gone fully remote. Even the local companies I've applied to, even positions with onsite requirements are doing fully remote interviews. It feels like this is the way of the future, remote hiring is just too convenient

HR, underrated skill

This is why you exclude the most extreme results in any sample.

This would be a motivator for getting people back in the office.

Thomas .. was a drone. (I’ll get me coat)

<sigh>

it is very on-brand that predatory capitalism will be what ultimately destroys american democracy

What the everloving fk?

Trump & Friends are busy ripping the copper out of the White House walls, why shouldn't North Korea try to grab a piece of the quickly-collapsing pie? Get a bit of the bag before it all disappears.

Sounds like these companies need to improve their i-9 standards..

This case is just one of several North Korean fake-worker prosecutions making their way through US courts. For years, North Korea has been secretly placing young IT workers inside Western companies. Now, with AI, their schemes are now more devious—and effective—than ever. The Big Story:

life in prison at least,well deserved

But how good are they? : )

why thank u

I’ve always questioned the hiring practices of engineering companies. Big focus on algorithms and quizzes. Less focus (maybe no focus) on personality and fit for the team. Other industries like law and medicine don’t seem to do it that way. But they also require state licenses / bar exam.

Trump has opened the door to cyber spies. No functioning brain cells in a US President. Unf'nbelievable.

AI tools they bought from American Oligarchs and hidden by Elon and Peter Thiel. Elon even offers data! User ID and password of govt employees 😏

Maybe he can bankrupt the billionaires……and especially Musk…down to nothing??

Also, I don't think we should forget the part where these crimes are being committed, among others, by people held hostage by their government.

I read this and I kept thinking that if they would've just asked NORMAL CONVERSATIONAL QUESTIONS such as, oh, you grew up in Brooklyn, that's cool, which neighbourhood were you in? They would've identified more of these hackers. If you talk to people like they're AI it makes sense AI can trick you.
