Well it's Amazon.

Me logging in.

that isn’t what the article describes

Possibly a statistical analysis of keyboard use across whole company. Looking for differences and outliers yielded some sort of delay The delay probably is from the delay of video to NK & human input back as received by endpoint Maybe periodical screenshots helped with stimulus and response timing

thanks!!

Why wouldn't it be? It's a huge latency because they're remoting in over an ocean. When you RDP onto a machine on your own continent or even within a nearby region you're getting much faster results. I remote over to the UK often and that's a very strong line and it's still got noticeable latency.

exactly! lag between what and what? it’s not like people’s work consists of seeing their screen light up green and then pressing a key as fast as possible, and at least my keyboard doesn’t timestamp every keypress. but maybe Amazon’s remote desktop software does 🤷

Lots of cranky people in these replies. Just sayin’.

There you go!

I bet he could've fixed their mapping system so Amazon could finally find my house and deliver my packages to the right address for once...

It’s Amazon. But, while discussing the detection, a friend pointed this feature out to me. It’s specifically for monitoring performance of VMs. I know virtual workstations are something folks have to use in some environments. docs.nexthink.com/platform/ref...

And we're supposed to give them our IDs? Come on 😒🤡

God forbid a guy needs two jobs.

Is the guy redirecting money? 🤓

Funny stuff. I posted that comment as a joke (admittedly not very funny) and it launched a weird debate over Trotsky vs. Nathan Bedford Forest. Some people around here sure do take themselves seriously. Sad. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrg1...

IF ONLY

Those are supposed to be funny

the Confederacy while long dead never had its culture extinguished- largely the result of a weak-willed north that was unwilling to rule with an iron fist and properly crush the south. the Soviet Union is not yet long dead, however has had its ideology crushed by the newfound far-right Russian state

I’m fine. It’s called “a joke”. Maybe you’ve heard of them.

I'm not actually convinced that this is how he was found. Makes for a good headline though

nah, we doing intra-Earth neutrino beams already but i'm with the SOUTH koreans we ARE amazon

So far they've frequently been right. The cultural linguistic analysis is not the only thing used to smoke out DPRK spies.

"I get paid by the keystroke, by the job completed, or by the hours worked, whichever is least." - some Amazon employee

I don't know the true inside story, but the article implies that keystroke latency was monitored only for the specific user after other indications suggested a security concern. That seems within bounds to me. Granted we don't really know and it's a slippery slope.

Im surprised were not seeing more stories like this....

Probably Zscaler Zero Trust Exchange. Deep packet inspection.

That’s the juxtaposition of online deployments that deflect from the perpetrator.

A lot of intelligence articles will list some high tech wat they caught the spy but when you read the unredacted report twenty years later its always "yeah his neighbor snitched on him".

Like facilitating the spying on and data collection of US citizens?

fair.

Me when the coyntry I invaded, killed millions of people, illegally embargo'd, and remain at war with after like seventy years still spies on me sometimes (I routinely tap the person phone lines of the leaders of my closest allies)

Which other Nations President/Chancellor is controlled by him outside of the clearly obvious of Belarus, Georgia, and the like? Just Trump to my knowledge. Having minions isn't the same as owning an actual Leader of a Nation.

To my shame I only speak english and German, but I assume its similarly red scary times in France and Spain and Italy and and and

EU is made up of nations with very clear cut borders, we as citizens of EU countries simply have a more easier time passing trough.

Props to those North Koreans tbh

The employees are notified of company monitoring policies before they start working. They don't have to work for companies that do such monitoring to prevent and stop industrial espionage, theft, and sabotage by malign cyber actors like independent criminal hackers, China, the DPRK, Iran, etc.

this sounds like network connection latency being measured

Trump regime cut cyber security by approx. 30%/$495 million impacting election security - protecting critical infrastructure - reduction in staff impacts the ability to respond to rising cyber threats www.cnbc.com/2025/11/07/t...

What if we are just slow?

HR has degenerated psuedoreligion that cannot meaningfully perform it's nominal function and instead engages in esoteric soothsaying that is becoming increasingly bizarre. That's likely part of it.

corporations have been doing this for decades....

I'm not sure I follow. Isn't the article describing network latency?
