@briankrebs This is pretty wild - how common are email-only reference checks? I’ve always done phone call or video call at a minimum, surprised a high profile security vendor would have such a porous background check process like this.

@pete_wright @briankrebs I just had an email-only reference check for a friend a couple months ago. I was prepared for a phone call but they were happy enough to take my email response

@briankrebs @pete_wright that sounds like a more nefarious version of when I am forced to provide my email to login to a "free WiFi" somewhere and I just use abuse@ their domain

@briankrebs @feld @pete_wright but here they say> Our HR team conducted four video conference based interviews on separate occasions, confirming the individual matched the photo provided on their application.So the photo was modified to match the real person? And that person was actually doing the coding? Or are they using some high quality deepfake for every video call? Because that means more video calls would still not solve it...

@chebra @briankrebs @pete_wright That reminds me a couple years ago we were hiring contractors from Upwork and we caught a guy scamming -- when you setup a call with them you'd get a white dude in America who didn't know anything about the work being done because he was outsourcing the actual work to people in India
