Seems like scant evidence to conclude that you were interviewing a North Korea hacker but I guess many on blockchain twitter are more credulous than I am.
> The "Okay?" is a DEAD FUCKING GIVEAWAY this guy is Korean.
An interviewee speaking quite formal English quite badly, punctuating sentences with question words and having an accent that isn't Korean-American but sounds a bit like it, and interviewing somewhere with lot of background noise because he apparently doesn't have an independent space to work in is actually pretty consistent with him being from Hong Kong like he said he was...
Yes, that statement by itself is a bit extreme, however I believe the person on twitter was combining it with the other aspects.
I did find that, at least for South Koreans, they sometimes use "Okay" in a way that would be considered non-standard by Westerners (I have no experience with North Koreans). Often times they would use "okay" more as a check or confirmation that something was heard, than an agreement. So someone saying "okay" to you could mean that they acknowledge that they heard you, rather than them agreeing with your statement. Thus, it seems like the Twitter poster was pointing out that non-standard usage and correlating it with his Korean experience.
Doesn't sound like any of the techniques used in the article were used in that thread, no deep fake vide, no deep faked voice. Just some Korean person (possibly) trying to gain access via remote working policies, and not very well by the sounds of it.
Or...an example of someone writing a sensational, mostly invented story using classic twitter thread growth hacking techniques (ending each tweet on a cliffhanger, etc. etc).
I'm immediately skeptical of tales written by someone who works in "growth" and has 60k followers from writing twitter threads.
