I'm a security expert and I almost fell for this IT job scam
Briefly

Dawid Moczadło, a security engineer and co-founder of Vidoc Security Lab, has revealed incidents where AI-based scammers posed as job seekers to infiltrate tech companies. This raised alarms as even an expert like him was nearly deceived by a candidate who exhibited suspicious behavior, including a strong Asian accent but a Polish identity. Although the candidate performed well during interviews, real-time video glitches eventually exposed the fraudulent attempt. Moczadło emphasizes the potential dangers posed by such scams, especially as security companies rely on AI to strengthen their defenses.
We spent and lost more than five hours on him. And the surprising thing was, he was actually good. I kind of wanted to hire him because his responses were good; he was able to answer all of our questions.
If they almost fooled me, a cybersecurity expert, they definitely fooled some people.
We noticed it after the third or fourth step of our interview process. His camera was glitchy, you could see a person, but the person wasn't moving like a person.
