North Korean IT Workers Pay People to Sit Through Job Interviews While They Control the Computer
Silent Push found North Korean IT workers recruiting on-camera proxies for job interviews while remotely controlling the computer, defeating identity and location checks.
Silent Push researchers engaged the "Tec Guru" persona via Discord and Telegram and assessed with moderate-to-high confidence that the operator is a North Korean IT worker recruiting on-camera proxies in the US, Europe, and Latin America for a 35/65 revenue split. During Google Meet interviews, the proxy stays on camera while the real worker supplies answers via ChatGPT-generated prompts, real-time messaging, or remote-control tools such as AnyDesk and TeamViewer. Successfully placed workers can access source code, cloud tenants, and CI/CD systems, and payments create sanctions exposure; the US, Japan, South Korea, and eight other governments issued a joint identity-verification alert on July 31, 2026.

FBI: Hackers using social engineering to breach accounts and steal explicit content
FBI warns hackers use social engineering and password-stuffing to hijack social media accounts and sell victims' explicit content on criminal marketplaces.
The FBI issued an alert on threat actors who breach social media accounts of adults and children using password-stuffing with credentials from data leak sites, impersonation of social media support staff, and cloned login pages, in order to steal and sell explicit content. Stolen content is often posted with victims' personal information, leading to sextortion, harassment, and stalking. Related DOJ cases include a man who pleaded guilty to hacking about 600 Snapchat accounts and a former University of Michigan coach who accessed records of about 150,000 people across 100+ colleges.
