I keep hearing about this and honestly I don’t get it how does this continue to happen? Here I am, a real human, decent person and a nice guy lol yet I can’t find a good job. What are these companies doing, how is this possible?

They aren’t telling the truth when they apply. They’ll use stolen identities, fabricated backgrounds, fake reference checks, hacked LinkedIn profiles.

They are professionals at lying and interviewing. When it’s your job to get jobs and you’re doing it with organized support, you will find something.

They also don’t really care if the job is good or bad. They’re just farming any and all jobs they can get and hanging on to them until they’re pushed out. At many companies, that can take years.

The Norks basically just steal a very qualified persons identity and info and then use that info to apply for jobs. So on paper, the job applicant looks pretty good but its just all larping from the threat actors. For being such a hermit kingdom, they are very good at infiltrating large companies and stealing cryptocurrencies.
