Amazon has thwarted over 1,800 job applications from suspected North Korean agents attempting to secure remote IT positions using stolen or fake identities, a trend that is likely widespread across the industry according to the company's chief security officer. This sophisticated tactic involves operatives hijacking dormant LinkedIn accounts and targeting genuine software engineers, with the ultimate goal of funneling wages back to fund the regime's weapons programs. Amazon is emphasizing the importance of robust screening measures, including AI tools and staff verification, to prevent such scams.
