Hey I am on Medial • 11m

This is ironic. Turns out security and anti-phishing company KnowBe4 didn't know before it hired someone that they were a North Korean hacker.⁠ ⁠ Incredibly, the "fake IT worker" passed through four separate video interviews and cleared multiple background checks. Then, shortly after they were sent a company-issued computer, things quickly went awry.⁠ ⁠ "The moment it was received, it immediately started to load malware," KnowBe4 founder and CEO Stu Sjouwerman wrote in a blog post. "This was a real person using a valid but stolen US-based identity," Sjouwerman wrote. "The picture was AI 'enhanced.'"⁠ ⁠ The company claims that "no illegal access was gained" and "no data was lost, compromised, or exfiltrated," but it's fair to say this was an extremely close call.
