About this talk
North Korean IT worker operations need other people's identities, so I invented a persona and reached out to one. From April to June 2026, an operator walked a fake college student through handing over my LinkedIn and Gmail logins, pitched me a front company with a card price analytics product, and offered a 50/50 split if I would do his job interviews. This talk covers what they asked for, what they said, and how to spot it.
