  • The post of 20 June 2024 follows a LinkedIn Premium recruiter, Onder Kayabasi, who approached the author for smart-contract and blockchain developers under the company name Peig.io, and whom another LinkedIn user had already reported for running a fake technical interview. It ties the LinkedIn profile to an X account and two GitHub accounts, OnderKayabasi (registered to kaankayabasi9060@gmail.com) and KaanKayabasi, through a shared recruiter biography. The post does not name North Korea; the set is filed unattributed, and the campaign label reflects the fake-interview tradecraft it describes rather than any attribution by the author.
