Fake job seekers are flooding U.S. companies that are hiring for remote positions, tech CEOs say www.cnbc.com/2025/04/08/fake-job-seekers-use-ai-to-interview-for-remote-jobs-tech-ceos-say.html I didn't know fake candidates were a thing?!
Image details: Companies are facing a new threat: Job seekers who aren't who they say they are, using AI tools to fabricate photo IDs, generate employment histories and provide answers during interviews. The rise of AI-generated profiles means that by 2028 globally 1 in 4 job candidates will be fake, according to research and advisory firm Gartner. Once hired, an impostor can install malware to demand a ransom from a company, or steal its customer data, trade secrets or funds.

@nixCraft Wasn't there a story about 6 months ago with a Chinese or North Korean state actor that used a fake identity to get hired with a full remote position in an American company, to steal their data or plant some malware?
