    This reminds me of that work from home employee that just “outsourced” his own job to China from a few years ago…

      Business outsources work they were hired to do : smart business! Employee outsources his work he was hired to do: scam!

      I hate that.

    Wait, they hired someone without even having a video call?

      Maybe they lied in the call and said they weren’t a North Korean hacker. That would be the kind of devious thing a hacker might do.

        They submitted a deep fake photo and never did a call.

        To prevent a repeat, KnowBe4 is advising its peers in the industry to consider interviewing prospective employees on a video call to ensure they’re real

          Holy shit, this is classic. The next time I let my ADHD get the better of me and I accidentally click on a link in a spoof phishing email (and, yes, try to log in to whatever account they told me there was a problem with because I’m an idiot, you’re so perfect, shut up) sent as a test by the IT department which results in them requiring me to take some KnowBe4 refresher course, I’m sending them this article and telling them “This one is a freebie.”
