The best defensive against hiring a fake remote worker from North Korea is a good offensive question.

There are allegedly thousands of North Koreans who have successfully disguised themselves as Americans and landed remote work jobs at Fortune 500 businesses and crypto firms. And while their techniques for getting in are sophisticated, catching them apparently just requires asking one kinda crude question:

“How fat is Kim Jong Un?”

According to Adam Meyers, the Senior Vice President of Counter Adversary Operations at cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike, asking that question during the interview process stops the North Korean workers in their tracks. While speaking at the RSA Conference earlier this week, Meyers explained that asking a question like that will cause the prospective worker to abort. “They terminate the call instantly, because it’s not worth it to say something negative about that,” he said, according to a report from The Register.

Don Coombs, mayor of Harbour Grace, N.L., says he got a call early this morning saying the cherished bronze statue commemorating Earhart’s successful 1932 transatlantic flight was gone.

Though he hasn’t seen it yet himself, he says his staff saw surveillance video indicating two people were dropped off in the park just after midnight and were picked up nearly three hours later in a red SUV.

Coombs says Earhart fans and flight enthusiasts from across the globe have been calling him to express their concern and condolences.
