The Crisis: Bilateral Recruitment Scams
Dover (https://dover.com/) CEO posted about urgent threat intelligence about North Korean hackers exploiting the job market from both directions - fake recruiters targeting real candidates and fake candidates targeting real companies. This represented a new evolution in cybercrime that demanded immediate public awareness. Here's how they could leverage HeyJared for crisis PR.
Dover's threat intelligence tracking - exposing the bilateral nature of recruitment scams
Dover's Actual Crisis Communication:
🚨 The Immediate Threat:
North Korean hackers just stole millions from crypto workers by impersonating recruiters on LinkedIn. They reach out claiming to represent companies like Robinhood, Ripple, or Kraken, insist candidates download sketchy software for a "video assessment", then drain their crypto wallets once malware is installed.
📊 The Scale:
Reports show they targeted 230+ people in just 3 months. This connects to everything we've been seeing with fake candidates at Dover. Scams happening on both sides - fake recruiters targeting real candidates, and fake candidates targeting real companies.
⚠️ The Bigger Picture:
The FBI suggests that North Korea's IT worker scheme generates $250-600M annually to fund their weapons program. The job market has become a battlefield we never saw coming.
