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
Ohh cool. Some of our security training is from them. Always seemed to be the most basic stuff too. Pretty awful they couldn’t take the most basic step to ensure a person is who they say they are.
Oh lol, my company is/was using them to produce testing phishing emails to determine if employees can spot them. It is quite ironic they fell for the ultimate phish.
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.”
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.
Hey now, it’s even on the USA visa application:

As someone managing KnowBe4 for our Clients, I’d actually let you pass with it… ;D
Yeah, shows that the internal client is researching security topics
Astounding that they never did this.
Wasn’t there a case recently where some hackers in Hk videocalled and faked being a bank guys boss and got him to send over money.
