Hiring & Recruitment
The newest social-engineering attack doesn't trick your people. It becomes one of them.

The Attack
Fake candidates, DPRK IT-worker infiltration
A convincing remote candidate, a polished CV and a smooth interview can now be a state-backed operator walking straight through your front door.
The attacks we stop:
A skilled "remote engineer" clears your interviews on a stolen or AI-assisted identity, gets hired, and turns a paid contract into long-term access to your code and systems, a tactic now traced to North Korean operations targeting crypto and tech firms
An applicant is run through a fake but professional pipeline, complete with a real-looking company, video calls and a Slack, designed so that a "coding exercise" or onboarding step quietly installs malware that lifts credentials and wallets
A new hire's identity and references hold up on the surface, having been built specifically to withstand the checks a busy hiring team actually runs
How we protect you:
We pressure-test your remote hiring and onboarding the way an adversary would, looking for where a fabricated candidate or a malicious "exercise" would get through
We review what a new joiner can reach on day one, and where an unverified hire quietly becomes standing access to code, funds or systems
We run controlled exercises with the people who interview, onboard and grant first access, so a too-good remote candidate is met with real verification rather than goodwill
