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 – but there's a question during job interviews that never fails to catch them out and forces them to drop out of the recruitment process.
"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," he told a panel session at the RSA Conference in San Francisco Monday.
Meyers explained the North Koreans will use generative AI to develop bulk batches of LinkedIn profiles and applications for remote work jobs that appeal to Western companies. During an interview, multiple teams will work on the technical challenges that are part of the interview while the "front man" handles the physical side of the interview, although sometimes rather ineptly.
"One of the things that we've noted is that you'll have a person in Poland applying with a very complicated name," he recounted, "and then when you get them on Zoom calls it's a military age male Asian who can't pronounce it." But it works enough that quite a few score the job and millions of dollars are being funneled back to North Korea via this route.

Also, a good comment thread at the link.
Maybe a question about his unit proportions. “Is it twue that he is berry small ding dong?”
“Kim Jong Un so fat, they have to let out shower curtain!”
This is “Famous Cholima”. A years-long struggle for HR and IT. As noted in the article, we’re getting better at weeding them out early. This happens more than people realize and costs billions in pilfered intellectual property and compromised systems. Just when you thought viruses and malware were enough, the humans become the hack.
“Why is dear leader so fat while the rest of NOrth Koreans starve?”
If they really are from Poland ask them to pronounce “Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz”.
I remember seeing a TV show on North Korean computer users. First thing I noticed is the laptop computers were DELL COMPUTERS.
From the comment section...
“ And you’re unwilling to invest a couple of grand at that final interview stage as part of your due diligence? “
HR managers are generally liberal idiot DEI hires. I had once went for an introductory interview where the HR recruiter demanded I had experience in a certain engineering software that was longer than the software had been in existence.
‘How fat is Kim Jong Un?’
Hes got more Chins than a Hong Kong phone book.
So fat, I had to take a train and two buses just to get on the his good side.
Is so fat, when a school bus hit him he said “Who threw that twinkie?”
So fat, when he gets on the scale it says “to be continued.”
So fat, he goes to a resturant, looks at the menu and says “okay!”
That’s kind of silly. They could just say, “not fat at all in my opinion”.
bkmk
I love it.
Which would be a good enough "tell" for me, as to who they are. Because he is FAT.
Why is it that Kim Jong Un appears to be the ONLY fat person in North Korea?
“One of the things that we’ve noted is that you’ll have a person in Poland applying with a very complicated name,” he recounted, “and then when you get them on Zoom calls it’s a military age male Asian who can’t pronounce it.”
Similar to Nazis trying to pronounce “Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz”.
LOL
I didn’t see your post about poor Grzegorz before I posted. My Polish friends are impressed that I can pronounce his first name but even after years of study the rest of the name as well as where he’s from are just an absolute joke. They’ve told me that that part of Poland has a dialect not shared by most of the rest of Poland, and that partisans in WWII really did use phrases from that part of Poland to identify Nazi spies. Other Poles can pronounce those phrases with only a little difficulty, no one who doesn’t speak Polish natively will be able to.
And that’s such a good movie.
