Behind the DOJ cases that exposed North Korean IT worker fraud, with former federal prosecutor Jason Casey
Would you believe most Fortune 500 companies have accidentally hired a North Korean IT worker? Jason Casey would.
Why?
As a former federal prosecutor and Deputy Chief of the National Security Unit at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Boston, Jason has seen this threat from a vantage point very few people have.
He was a lead prosecutor in one of the most prominent and consequential North Korean IT worker cases, working alongside the FBI and directly with the affected companies.
In this one case alone, dozens of the Fortune 500s accidentally hired one. Many of them didn’t know they were infiltrated until the FBI knocked on their door.
On September 10, Jason will join David Head, CEO of Endorsed, a recruiting fraud detection company that helps employers identify North Korean IT workers, to discuss his experience investigating this threat. The webinar is produced in partnership with HR Elevate, a community for Fortune 500 HR executives.
The hour-long conversation will follow the story of the DOJ’s 18-month long investigation, including details not widely reported by mainstream news outlets and cybersecurity articles.
