Well, folks, you just CAN'T make this stuff up! According to The Independent (link to The Independent, North Korea, it turns out, isn't just launching missiles, but also "exporting" spies to Europe. And guess where they're infiltrating? Yep, the IT sector, working remotely! And for their cover story, these "cyber ninjas" are often claiming to be... Ukrainians. Seriously?!
So, there you are, chilling in Berlin, thinking you're collaborating with a brilliant Ukrainian programmer, and BAM! – turns out your "colleague" is actually from Pyongyang, and instead of coding, they're penning reports to comrade Kim? Talk about a plot twist!
Looks like the "palianytsia" test might just become standard procedure for EU recruiters! But seriously though, gotta ask – are there actually any effective tests out there that are better than asking someone to pronounce a tricky bread word? Because relying on "palianytsia" alone to spot a North Korean spy in disguise... well, that just sounds like a recipe for digital disaster. 🤔
