North Korean Job Hunters

Join us for our monthly meetup! This month’s speaker is Aidan Raney giving their talk: North Korean Job Hunters: Key Insights from Infiltrating the North Korean IT Worker Fraud Network.

Thousands of North Koreans are getting remote work jobs around the country and pretending to be you (American IT workers), taking jobs away from normal people, funneling salaries to North Korean nuclear weapons programs, and creating a very serious hidden insider threat. This speaker infiltrated their operations and discovered how they are doing this without getting caught. Now he is sharing his insights so you can defend your networks and data from insider threats. Get important threat intelligence and hear a fun hacker war story while you're at it.
