A Clearwater, FL IT security company called KnowBe4 hired a man named “Kyle” in July. But it turns out that the picture he posted on his LinkedIn account was a stock photo altered with AI. The company sent a work laptop to the address “Kyle” supplied, which was, in fact, a US-based collaborator. The “employee” tried to deploy malware on the company’s networks on his first day but was caught and fired.
“He was being open about strengths and weaknesses, and things he still needed to learn, career path ideas,” Stu Sjouwerman, founder and CEO of KnowBe4, told The Wall Street Journal. “This guy was a professional interviewee who had probably done this a hundred times.”
