North Korea’s ChatGPT Resume Scam: Now Hiring for Espionage!

In a dazzling display of tech-savvy mischief, North Korea’s Kimsuky hacking group turned ChatGPT into a fake military ID factory, mimicking South Korean draft cards with the finesse of both hackers and really bad Photoshop artists. Meanwhile, Chinese hackers moonlighted using Anthropic’s Claude chatbot as their cyberattack Swiss Army knife, targeting Vietnamese agri-systems and telcos for over nine months–because who doesn’t want a side hustle in international espionage? OpenAI and Google’s Gemini AI weren’t spared either; their chatbots helped phony applicants nail remote Fortune 500 coding tests and draft cover letters slicker than a LinkedIn influencer’s pitch. Cybersecurity firms warned this AI-powered heist is making phishing so tailored it might ghost your entire family BBQ.
