KnowBe4 disclosed that in July 2024 it had unknowingly hired a North Korean operative posing as an employee, but detected and locked the issued laptop within 25 minutes with no customer data accessed. The post warns that dozens to hundreds of similar North Korean "fake employees" likely exist, details their TTPs (stolen identities, AI-enhanced media, fake social profiles, local accomplices, laptop farms, VPN/VoIP), and offers webinars and guidance to help organizations update hiring controls to prevent and detect such infiltrations.
