There is a new security concern that is catching many off guard: hiring malicious actors. Matt Mock, our CISO, shares that instances of fake candidates, particularly those backed by entities from countries like North Korea, are no longer a rarity.
These actors typically have financial motives as their primary aim and have a surprising sophistication. They employ stolen identities and may even be working with domestic associates to get their foot in the door. As Megan McLeod points out, these aren't mere hypotheticals. Even companies like KnowBe4 have reported encounters, underscoring that no organization is too small to be targeted.
It is important to be vigilant in the hiring process. There are a number of red flags during remote interviews that are worth being aware of such as inconsistencies in a candidate's story, reluctance to appear on video, or unusual locations to send equipment. But it's not just about catching these actors during interviews.
Some of these actors may be hired before they start to show subtle but suspicious activities. Accessing systems from unexpected locations or changing device settings to a foreign language can reveal their true intentions.
