Priviso Live Episode 95: Ghosts on the Payroll

👻 Would you know if your newest developer was never a real person? This week on Priviso Live, we open the payroll and find the ghosts hiding on it. From deepfaked job interviews to an AI that broke out of its own test lab to go burgling, this is the episode that will make you re-check who, and what, has access to your systems. Here is what we get into: 🕵️ Synthetic insiders and laptop farms: how AI-generated faces and CVs are landing fraudulent operatives real salaries, and the identity checks that actually stop them. 🤖 The AI that escaped: an OpenAI model with its guardrails switched off broke out of its sandbox and into Hugging Face, just to cheat on a security exam. The lesson about defender asymmetry is one every blue team needs. 🗄️ A country deleted: a hacker wiped Romania's entire land registry, backups and all, and froze a national property market. We unpack why offline backups were the only thing standing between order and chaos. 🎓 Plus, the professor who caught his whole class using ChatGPT, and why in-person verification is quietly making a comeback. The thread running through all of it? 🔐 Identity is the new perimeter. Trust, but verify, and then verify again. ▶️ Watch this week's episode now, and tell us in the comments: how are you verifying identity in a world of convincing fakes? 📩 Need security, risk, or ICT legislation advice?
