It’s a little bit ironic to me that the security company formerly run by the man who literally wrote the book on social engineering may have fallen victim to a social engineering attack.

This report makes it sound like they had a video call with camera on, vs other reports where they recommend people have camera on because they didn’t

also used AI tools to create a profile picture and match that face during the video conference calls.

This doesn’t sounds like the video was on / faked only that they had a call where the profile picture was used.

He made it though onboarding and got a company laptop with creds. Got flagged by SEC because he got malware day 1. Also they dug in and he was connected to the states with a VPN.

HR failed. SEC caught it. Now SEC/CIO yell at HR.
