In this podcast James Wilson chats with Brad Arkin about North Korea’s sprawling fake IT worker ecosystem. From fake interviews, to stolen identities, basement laptop farms and IP-KVM tricks, the North Koreans are operating a whole employment fraud industry.
Brad and James discuss how the scheme works in practice and the technical detection challenges defenders now face, like dealing with stolen or borrowed identities, bribed verification checks and multi-person operational chains. They also dig into why enterprises are largely on the back foot, and why there’s no single product you can buy to solve this.
As the former CISO of Adobe, Cisco and Salesforce, Brad has some firsthand experience dealing with this stuff!
