The fake IDs were attached to phishing emails that impersonated a South Korean defense institution responsible for issuing credentials to military-affiliated officials, South Korean cybersecurity firm Genians said in a blog post published Monday."
"Anthropic said in a report last month that North Korean hackers used its Claude tool to secure and maintain fraudulent remote employment at American Fortune 500 tech companies.

North Korean and Chinese hacking groups are using AI tools to create convincing fraudulent materials for espionage and infiltration.

ChatGPT safeguards against producing government IDs can be bypassed by framing prompts as sample designs. Anthropic identified North Korean actors using the Claude tool to obtain and maintain fraudulent remote jobs at Fortune 500 tech firms by generating résumés, portfolios, passing coding tests, and completing technical assignments. US officials reported placements using false or stolen identities.
