Learnings from my call with a North Korean hacker

The author, a crypto developer, describes a suspected scam attempt made over a video call that began with a LinkedIn message from someone named "Brendo" proposing a vague blockchain collaboration. The author lists red flags that made the call appear fraudulent, including a name that did not match the sender (Magnus), a Gmail address instead of a company email, pressure to turn off cameras, a video that seemed AI-generated, background sounds unlike a Norwegian office, and a company link that differed from the CEO role Brendo claimed. The author says it is unclear whether North Korean hackers were involved and considers it more likely an amateur attempt, and warns that such scams increasingly target people looking for work in crypto.
