01
Candidates sometimes hire substitutes to complete technical interviews, then present themselves as different individuals on day one. Tofu detects identity mismatches and behavioral indicators.
02
Bad actors use AI-generated video and audio to impersonate candidates during live interviews or conceal their true identity. Tofu's detection system uses behavioral and identity markers to identify fraudulent candidates.
03
Fraudsters combine legitimate and fabricated information — authentic employment records, valid credentials, and false contact information — to establish synthetic identities that circumvent standard screening.
04
Foreign threat actors leverage stolen identities, VPNs, and proxies to access remote technical roles. North Korean IT worker fraud rings — identified by the FBI, OFAC, and other agencies — represent a documented and growing concern.
05
Fraudulent applicants mask their geographic location using VPNs, proxies, and GPS tools to conceal applications from sanctioned countries or misrepresent remote work eligibility.
