North Koreans use real-time deepfake tech to hide identities in job interviews

2025-04-23  Per Henrikson

North Korean IT workers have begun using real-time deepfake technology to conceal their true identities during job interviews, according to a U.S. cybersecurity firm, highlighting the increasing sophistication of their remote work schemes to raise money for the sanctioned regime. In a report released on Monday, Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 threat intelligence team warned. The researchers subsequently discovered that it takes little more than an hour and no prior experience to create a real-time deepfake using readily available tools and inexpensive consumer hardware.
