pairing: AJ x f!reader | genre: angst ❤️‍🩹 | wc: 2.3k

warnings: explicit sexual content (18+), strong language, emotional hurt/comfort, implied (but false) character death, panic attack symptoms, bruised!AJ (light), heavy angst, crying, soft!AJ, unprotected sex, heist/robbery mention, gun violence (briefly mentioned).

a/n: if you were trying to emotionally ruin me, congrats—you succeeded. but seriously, thank you so much for requesting this!! i hope you like it <3

also… wrote this while listening to code blue by the-dream. yes, i cried 😭

It was a typical Tuesday morning.

You had your shift at the diner—the one just a few blocks from the apartment you shared with AJ. Same regulars, same buzz of the overhead lights, same smell of burnt coffee and old grease that clung to your clothes no matter how many times you washed them.

And AJ, well… he had a heist planned. Bank job. No details. There never were. That was part of the deal.

He just kissed you—a little longer than usual. Told you he’d be careful and that he’d see you later. No real goodbye. He didn’t believe in those.

And of course, you didn’t love what he did—hated that it was unpredictable, that it came with too many unknowns and too many risks. But AJ had never given you a reason to doubt him.

He always promised to come home—and he did. Every time.

By now, it was midday. The diner was packed, lunch rush in full swing. Plates clattered in the kitchen, silverware scraped across plates, and someone at the counter was complaining about their toast being cold. You were in the middle of pouring a fresh round of coffee when the flicker of movement on the mounted TV caught your eye.

You glanced up—just for a second.

Breaking News flashed across the screen in bold red. You almost looked away, used to the noise of it by now. But then you saw it.

Outside of a bank. Police cars. Barricades.

A robbery.

Your stomach dropped.

You grabbed a rag and started clearing a nearby table, trying to play it cool as you leaned toward one of your coworkers. “Can you turn that up?” you asked, your voice low, like you were just curious.

She didn’t question it. Just grabbed the remote and nudged the volume up.

The anchor’s voice filled the room, crisp and too calm.

“We’re following a developing situation in downtown LA, where a five-man crew has attempted to rob First National Bank. Law enforcement has confirmed that the suspects are still inside, currently refusing to surrender. There are reports of multiple hostages. No demands have been made.”

Five.

Your heart gave a painful thud. AJ. Gordon. John. Jesse. Jake.

No. No. It wasn’t them. Couldn’t be.

There were a lot of five-man crews. A lot of banks. You clung to that logic like it could hold back the panic rising in your throat.

You stacked dishes with shaking hands.

“Coming in now… it appears shots have been fired. Officers are returning fire. We’ve just received confirmation—open exchange between the suspects and police.”

The footage shifted. Camera zoomed on gunfire erupting from the bank entrance, officers ducking behind vehicles, smoke and shouts and flashing lights in the distance.

Your movements slowed, heart hammering, as the anchor continued.

“We’re hearing now that the crew has been taken down. All five suspects have been neutralized. We repeat—all five suspects are down. No hostages harmed.”

The stack of dishes slipped from your hands and hit the floor hard, porcelain shattering into jagged pieces that rang throughout the diner. The sound turned heads, but you hardly noticed. You stood there for a second, frozen, until your coworker rushed over to help.

“I’ve got it,” they said gently, crouching down with a towel, but their voice felt far away.

“Sorry,” you mumbled, though the word hardly formed on your tongue.

Your body was already moving before you registered the decision. You pushed through the swinging door to the back, grabbed your phone with fumbling hands, and bolted through the alley exit. The warm air hit you in a suffocating way, but you didn’t stop. You dialed his number with shaking fingers.

Once. No answer.

You tried again.

Still nothing.

By the third call, the tears came—hot, blinding, unstoppable. You pressed the phone tighter to your ear, willing it to connect, trying to hold yourself together in the space between each ring. But the signs weren’t looking good. Not this time.

A few hours had gone by, and with each passing minute, your heart broke a little more. You sat on the couch, eyes flicking between your phone and the TV, trying to focus on the news, hoping for something—anything—but nothing new had come in. Just recycled footage. The same looping clips of the scene. The same headlines.

He would’ve called by now.

You knew that like you knew your own name. He always did, even when he couldn’t say much. Even when he knew he shouldn’t. He always found a way to let you know he was okay.

But this time… nothing.

It felt like your body had finally caved under the weight of it all. You doubled over where you sat, arms wrapping around your middle like you could hold yourself together. But the sobs still came, raw and heaving, until your whole frame shook. You pressed a hand over your mouth to muffle the sound, but it barely helped. You didn’t want to fall apart, but it didn’t feel like a choice anymore.

And it was like that for hours. One minute, your tears came soft and silent, slipping down your cheeks in slow surrender. The next, you were gripping a pillow and gasping through it, the ache rising too fast, too sharp. Sometimes you’d pace the apartment, aimless and angry. Other times you’d just stare at the door, wishing it would open.

The sun eventually dipped below the skyline, the light shifting. Outside, the world kept going, headlights flashing past, voices trailing down the street, but inside—your world had stopped.

Just like that.

Hours later, somewhere, somehow, you’d found the strength to take a shower—an attempt at a distraction, at pretending things were okay for just a few minutes. But nothing could quiet the ache lodged in your chest. Nothing could stop your mind from spinning.

And then—

A noise. Loud. Something clattering.

You stilled, water streaming down your back, breath caught.

Another sound followed. Something heavier.

Without thinking, you twisted the knob off and stepped out, water dripping from your skin as you grabbed the nearest towel. You barely dried off, too focused on the pounding in your ears. Your hands trembled as you pulled your clothes on, movements fast and uneven.

You opened the bathroom door slowly, careful not to make a sound. The space was quiet. Eerily so. You crossed the room, heart thudding in your chest as you reached for the bedroom door.

Just as you opened it, you were met with a figure on the other side.

AJ.

You let out a soft yelp, startled by how suddenly he appeared.

His hands came up instantly, breathless. “It’s me—hey, it’s me,” he said, voice low, urgent. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

He was drenched in sweat and dirt. Clothes disheveled, shirt clinging to him. His jaw was bruised. There was blood on his knuckles.

You opened your mouth to speak, but nothing came out.

Then the tears hit.

Your shoulders shook before you could stop them, and your knees almost buckled as the relief finally broke through. You didn’t even realize how hard you were crying until AJ’s hands reached for you.

His arms wrapped around your waist, pulling you into him. He buried his face in the crook of your neck, murmuring apologies over and over between shallow breaths.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered against your skin. “I’m so fucking sorry.”

You clung to him for a beat, the shock keeping your limbs stiff before your hands pushed at his chest, not to shove him away—just to breathe, to see him.

“Where were you? What happened?” you asked, voice breaking mid-sentence.

AJ pulled back slightly, eyes red-rimmed, jaw tight. “The job went south. Another crew showed up. Same bank.”

You blinked, confusion crashing into you. “But the news… they said five. I thought—”

“It wasn’t us,” he cut in, shaking his head hard. “It wasn’t us.”

Tears kept falling, faster now, sharp and wet across your cheeks. You hit his chest once—not hard, just enough to make him feel it.

“Why didn’t you call?” Your voice cracked. “You scared the shit out of me.”

“I lost my phone, baby.” His voice dropped, rough and hoarse. “It was a fucking mess. I’ve been running for hours. The cops were everywhere—I just—I’m sorry.”

You shook your head, another wave of tears slipping free before you could stop them. “I… I thought you were dead,” you whispered, voice wavering as the words finally spilled out.

AJ’s brows furrowed, the pain in your voice hitting him like a punch. You saw it flash through his expression—tight, sharp, like he’d give anything to take the last few hours from you.

“I’m sorry,” he said quietly. Again. Like the words weren’t enough but they were all he had.

You didn’t look at him. Couldn’t. The tears kept coming, harder now, burning your cheeks as your body started to fold in on itself.

That’s when AJ dropped to his knees in front of you.

His hands found your hips gently, thumbs skimming over the hem of your shirt. He looked up at you, eyes dark with remorse.

“I’m so sorry, baby,” he said again, more desperate now. “I swear—I’m sorry.”

He wasn’t crying. But it was written all over him—in the way his hands pressed into your sides as if he were anchoring himself to you.

The moment he saw another tear slide down your cheek, AJ reached for your wrist, pulling you gently toward him.

He drew you in until your body tilted forward, leaning into him, your hands braced lightly on his shoulders. He didn’t let go.

"Don't ever do that again," you said, the words catching in your throat as the tears finally began to slow.

“I mean it.” Your voice trembling with the leftover fear that hadn’t yet left your body. “I don’t want to—I can’t—I thought I lost you.”

AJ stood, cupping your face in his hands. “I’m here,” he said quietly. “I’m sorry.”

He pressed his forehead to yours as he murmured, “I’m not going anywhere. Okay?”

You nodded, lightly.

“I’m here,” he said again, quieter this time. Like it had to be said twice to make it real.

You didn’t answer. You just leaned in, your lips meeting his in a kiss that said everything you couldn’t.

His lips moved slowly against yours, warm and weighted, thumb brushing along your jaw as the kiss deepened.

You pulled him closer, arms looping around his neck, fingers tangling in the hair at his nape. Your body pressed into his like you were trying to make up for all the time you thought you’d lost.

He moved with you, guiding you back into the bedroom, never breaking the kiss for more than a breath.

There, in the soft light, you tugged at his shirt while his hands slipped beneath yours, fingertips gliding over your skin. Clothes came off between kisses, slow and tender. Each movement was careful, but full of urgency. Not rushed, just needed.

His shirt hit the floor. Yours followed. His fingers grazed your hips as he helped ease your pants down, and you reached for his belt, working it loose while he pressed his lips to your shoulder.

As you moved to the bed, he laid you down gently, your back sinking into the sheets like they had been waiting for you both. The room was quiet except for the sound of your breathing and the soft rustle of fabric as AJ climbed in after you, settling between your legs.

He kissed you again, lips lingering before he trailed them down, warm and reverent. He dropped a line of kisses to your neck, your collarbone, the center of your chest. You felt his breath against your skin, felt the way he paused at your stomach, his hands smoothing over your sides with a touch that was apologetic.

When he moved lower, intent clear in the way he kissed just above your thigh, you stopped him, fingers threading into his hair.

He looked up at you, eyes soft, searching your face.

“I just want you,” you said, your voice quiet but sure.

He nodded, then began to crawl back up your body, never breaking eye contact.

His lips met yours again, deep and full, as he reached down between you, lining himself up.

He entered you slowly, letting your body take him inch by inch. Your hands slid over his ink-covered back, nails slightly digging in. His forehead pressed to yours, eyes closing as he sank into you, a shaky breath tumbling out of him.

“I’m sorry,” he murmured, the words barely brushing your skin as he hovered over you, voice rough with guilt.

You wrapped your arms tighter around his shoulders and pulled him closer, pressing your chest to his, your mouth to his neck. You didn’t need to speak. Your body said it for you.

Your back arched to meet him as he rolled into you with rhythm, dragging against every tender place inside you.

He filled you completely with each pass, pulling out just enough to make you feel the loss before sliding back in, deeper, smoother, with a groan he buried into the side of your neck.

His hands never left you. One stayed on your waist, holding you. The other slid along your ribs, your breast, your neck—touches that soothed as much as they worshipped.

“I’m sorry,” he said again between thrusts, his voice cracking. “I’m sorry I scared you. I was—I was just trying to come back to you. I’m sorry.”

His hand slid up, cradling your jaw as he kissed you between movements—sweet, aching kisses that landed on your lips, your cheek, the corner of your mouth.

You felt the apology in every push of his body against yours. He was deep, slow, focused only on you. On making it up to you. On being here. Fully.

Your fingers tangled in his hair as his pace stayed steady, his breath catching every time you tightened around him.

Every thrust was a quiet plea. Every kiss, a promise.

He was here.

And he wasn’t going anywhere.

On paper, the first candidate looked perfect. Thomas was from rural Tennessee and had studied computer science at the University of Missouri. His résumé said he’d been a professional programmer for eight years, and he’d breezed through a preliminary coding test. All of this was excellent news for Thomas’ prospective boss, Simon Wijckmans, founder of the web security startup C.Side. The 27-year-old Belgian was based in London but was looking for ambitious, fully remote coders.

Thomas had an Anglo-Saxon surname, so Wijckmans was surprised when he clicked into his Google Meet and found himself speaking with a heavily accented young man of Asian origin. Thomas had set a generic image of an office as his background. His internet connection was laggy—odd for a professional coder—and his end of the call was noisy. To Wijckmans, Thomas sounded like he was sitting in a large, crowded space, maybe a dorm or a call center.

Wijckmans fired off his interview questions, and Thomas’ responses were solid enough. But Wijckmans noticed that Thomas seemed most interested in asking about his salary. He didn’t come across as curious about the actual work or about how the company operated or even about benefits like startup stock or health coverage. Odd, thought Wijckmans. The conversation came to a close, and he got ready for the next interview in his queue.

Once again, the applicant said they were based in the US, had an Anglo name, and appeared to be a young Asian man with a thick, non-American accent. He used a basic virtual background, was on a terrible internet connection, and had a single-minded focus on salary. This candidate, though, was wearing glasses. In the lenses, Wijckmans spotted the reflection of multiple screens, and he could make out a white chatbox with messages scrolling by. “He was clearly either chatting with somebody or on some AI tool,” Wijckmans remembers.

On high alert, Wijckmans grabbed screenshots and took notes. After the call ended, he went back over the job applications. He found that his company’s listings were being flooded with applicants just like these: an opening for a full-stack developer got more than 500 applications in a day, far more than usual. And when he looked more deeply into the applicants’ coding tests, he saw that many candidates appeared to have used a virtual private network, or VPN, which allows you to mask your computer’s true location.

Wijckmans didn’t know it yet, but he’d stumbled onto the edges of an audacious, global cybercrime operation. He’d unwittingly made contact with an army of seemingly unassuming IT workers, deployed to work remotely for American and European companies under false identities, all to bankroll the government of North Korea.

With a little help from some friends on the ground, of course.

christina chapman was living in a trailer in Brook Park, Minnesota, a hamlet north of Minneapolis, when she got a note from a recruiter that changed her life. A bubbly 44-year-old with curly red hair and glasses, she loved her dogs and her mom and posting social justice content on TikTok. In her spare time she listened to K-pop, enjoyed Renaissance fairs, and got into cosplay. Chapman was also, according to her sparse online résumé, learning to code online.

It was March 2020 when she clicked on the message in her LinkedIn account. A foreign company was looking for somebody to “be the US face” of the business. The company needed help finding remote employment for overseas workers. Chapman signed on. It’s unclear how fast her workload grew, but by October 2022 she could afford a move from chilly Minnesota to a low-slung, four-bedroom house in Litchfield Park, Arizona. It wasn’t fancy—a suburban corner lot with a few thin trees—but it was a big upgrade over the trailer.

Chapman then started documenting more of her life on TikTok and YouTube, mostly talking about her diet, fitness, or mental health. In one chatty video, shared in June 2023, she described grabbing breakfast on the go—an açaí bowl and a smoothie— because work was so busy. “My clients are going crazy!” she complained. In the background, the camera caught a glimpse of metal racks holding at least a dozen open laptops covered in sticky notes. A few months later, federal investigators raided Chapman’s home, seized the laptops, and eventually filed charges alleging that she had spent three years aiding the “illicit revenue generation efforts” of the government of North Korea.

For maybe a decade, North Korean intelligence services have been training young IT workers and sending them abroad in teams, often to China or Russia. From these bases, they scour the web for job listings all over, usually in software engineering, and usually with Western companies. They favor roles that are fully remote, with solid wages, good access to data and systems, and few responsibilities. Over time they began applying for these jobs using stolen or fake identities and relying on members of their criminal teams to provide fictional references; some have even started using AI to pass coding tests, video interviews, and background checks.

But if an applicant lands a job offer, the syndicate needs somebody on the ground in the country the applicant claims to live in. A fake employee, after all, can’t use the addresses or bank accounts linked to their stolen IDs, and they can’t dial in to a company’s networks from overseas without instantly triggering suspicion. That’s where someone like Christina Chapman comes in.

As the “facilitator” for hundreds of North Korea–linked jobs, Chapman signed fraudulent documents and handled some of the fake workers’ salaries. She would often receive their paychecks in one of her bank accounts, take a cut, and wire the rest overseas: Federal prosecutors say Chapman was promised as much as 30 percent of the money that passed through her hands.

Her most important job, though, was tending the “laptop farm.” After being hired, a fake worker will typically ask for their company computer to be sent to a different address than the one on record—usually with some tale about a last-minute move or needing to stay with a sick relative. The new address, of course, belongs to the facilitator, in this case Chapman. Sometimes the facilitator forwards the laptop to an address overseas, but more commonly that person holds onto it and installs software that allows it to be controlled remotely. Then the fake employee can connect to their machine from anywhere in the world while appearing to be in the US. (“You know how to install Anydesk?” one North Korean operative asked Chapman in 2022. “I do it practically EVERYDAY!” she replied.)

In messages with her handlers, Chapman discussed sending government forms like the I-9, which attests that a person is legally able to work in the US. (“I did my best to copy your signature,” she wrote. “Haha. Thank you,” came the response.) She also did basic tech troubleshooting and dialed into meetings on a worker’s behalf, sometimes on short notice, as in this conversation from November 2023:

Worker: We are going to have laptop setup meeting in 20 mins. Can you join Teams meeting and follow what IT guy say? Because it will require to restart laptop multiple times and I can not handle that. You can mute and just follow what they say ...

Chapman: Who do I say I am?

Worker: You don’t have to say, I will be joining there too.

Chapman: I just typed in the name Daniel. If they ask WHY you are using two devices, just say the microphone on your laptop doesn’t work right ... Most IT people are fine with that explanation.

Sometimes, she got jumpy. “I hope you guys can find other people to do your physical I9s,” she wrote to her bosses in 2023, according to court documents. “I will SEND them for you, but have someone else do the paperwork. I can go to FEDERAL PRISON for falsifying federal documents.” Michael Barnhart, an investigator at cybersecurity company DTEX and a leading expert on the North Korean IT worker threat, says Chapman’s involvement followed a standard pattern—from an innocuous initial contact on LinkedIn to escalating requests. “Little by little, the asks get bigger and bigger,” he says. “Then by the end of the day, you’re asking the facilitator to go to a government facility to pick up an actual government ID.”

By the time investigators raided Chapman’s home, she was housing several dozen laptops, each with a sticky note indicating the fake worker’s identity and employer. Some of the North Korean operatives worked multiple jobs; some had been toiling quietly for years. Prosecutors said at least 300 employers had been pulled into this single scheme, including “a top-five national television network and media company, a premier Silicon Valley technology company, an aerospace and defense manufacturer, an iconic American car manufacturer, a high-end retail store, and one of the most recognizable media and entertainment companies in the world.” Chapman, they alleged, had helped pass along at least $17 million. She pleaded guilty in February 2025 to charges relating to wire fraud, identity theft, and money laundering and is awaiting sentencing.

Chapman’s case is just one of several North Korean fake-worker prosecutions making their way through US courts. A Ukrainian named Oleksandr Didenko has been accused of setting up a freelancing website to connect fake IT workers with stolen identities. Prosecutors say at least one worker was linked to Chapman’s laptop farm and that Didenko also has ties to operations in San Diego and Virginia. Didenko was arrested in Poland last year and was extradited to the United States. In Tennessee, 38-year-old Matthew Knoot is due to stand trial for his alleged role in a scheme that investigators say sent hundreds of thousands of dollars to accounts linked to North Korea via his laptop farm in Nashville. (Knoot has pleaded not guilty.) And in January 2025, Florida prosecutors filed charges against two American citizens, Erick Ntekereze Prince and Emanuel Ashtor, as well as a Mexican accomplice and two North Koreans. (None of the defendants’ lawyers in these cases responded to requests for comment.) The indictments claim that Prince and Ashtor had spent six years running a string of fake staffing companies that placed North Koreans in at least 64 businesses.

before the hermit kingdom had its laptop farms, it had a single confirmed internet connection, at least as far as the outside world could tell. As recently as 2010, that one link to the web was reserved for use by high-ranking officials. Then, in 2011, 27-year-old Kim Jong Un succeeded his father as the country’s dictator. Secretly educated in Switzerland and said to be an avid gamer, the younger Kim made IT a national priority. In 2012, he urged some schools to “pay special attention to intensifying their computer education” to create new possibilities for the government and military. Computer science is now on some high school curricula, while college students can take courses on information security, robotics, and engineering.

The most promising students are taught hacking techniques and foreign languages that can make them more effective operatives. Staff from government agencies including the Reconnaissance General Bureau— the nation’s clandestine intelligence service—recruit the highest-scoring graduates of top schools like Kim Chaek University of Technology (described by many as “the MIT of North Korea”) or the prestigious University of Sciences in Pyongsong. They are promised good wages and unfettered access to the internet—the real internet, not the intranet available to well-off North Koreans, which consists of a mere handful of heavily censored North Korean websites.

The earliest cyberattacks launched by Pyongyang were simple affairs: defacing websites with political messages or launching denial-of-service attacks to shut down US websites. They soon grew more audacious. In 2014, North Korean hackers famously stole and leaked confidential information from Sony’s film studio. Then they targeted financial institutions: Fraudulent trades pulled more than $81 million from the Bank of Bangladesh’s accounts at the New York Federal Reserve. After that, North Korean hackers moved into ransomware—the WannaCry attack in 2017 locked hundreds of thousands of Windows computers in 150 countries and demanded payments in bitcoin. While the amount of revenue the attack generated is up for debate—some say it earned just $140,000 in payouts—it wreaked much wider damage as companies worked to upgrade their systems and security, costing as much as $4 billion, according to one estimate.

Governments responded with more sanctions and stronger security measures, and the regime pivoted, dialing back on ransomware in favor of quieter schemes. It turns out these are also more lucrative: Today, the most valuable tool in North Korea’s cybercrime armory is cryptocurrency theft. In 2022, hackers stole more than $600 million worth of the cryptocurrency ether by attacking the blockchain game Axie Infinity; in February of this year, they robbed the Dubai-based crypto exchange Bybit of $1.5 billion worth of digital currency. The IT pretender scam, meanwhile, seems to have been growing slowly until the pandemic dramatically expanded the number of remote jobs, and Pyongyang saw the perfect opportunity.

In 2024, according to a recent report from South Korea’s National Intelligence Service, the number of people working in North Korea’s cyber divisions—which includes pretenders, crypto thieves, and military hackers—stood at 8,400, up from 6,800 two years earlier. Some of these workers are based in the country, but many are stationed overseas in China, Russia, Pakistan, or elsewhere. They are relatively well compensated, but their posting is hardly cushy.

Teams of 10 to 20 young men live and work out of a single apartment, sleeping four or five to a room and grinding up to 14 hours a day at weird hours to correspond with their remote job’s time zone. They have quotas of illicit earnings they are expected to meet. Their movements are tightly controlled, as are those of their relatives, who are effectively held hostage to prevent defections. “You don’t have any freedom,” says Hyun-Seung Lee, a North Korean defector who lives in Washington, DC, and says some of his old friends were part of such operations. “You’re not allowed to leave the apartment unless you need to purchase something, like grocery shopping, and that is arranged by the team leader. Two or three people must go together so there’s no opportunity for them to explore.”

The US government estimates that a typical team of pretenders can earn up to $3 million each year for Pyongyang. Experts say the money is pumped into everything from Kim Jong Un’s personal slush fund to the country’s nuclear weapons program. A few million dollars may seem small next to the flashy crypto heists— but with so many teams operating in obscurity, the fraud is effective precisely because it is so mundane.

in the summer of 2022, a major multinational company hired a remote engineer to work on website development. “He would dial in to meetings, he would participate in discussions,” an executive at the company told me on condition of anonymity. “His manager said he was considered the most productive member of the team.”

One day, his coworkers organized a surprise to celebrate his birthday. Colleagues gathered on a video call to congratulate him, only to be startled by his response—but it’s not my birthday. After nearly a year at the company, the worker had apparently forgotten the birth date listed in his records. It was enough to spark suspicion, and soon afterward the security team discovered that he was running remote access tools on his work computer, and he was let go. It was only later, when federal investigators discovered one of his pay stubs at Christina Chapman’s laptop farm in Arizona, that the company connected the dots and realized it had employed a foreign agent for nearly a year.

For many pretenders, the goal is simply to earn a good salary to send back to Pyongyang, not so much to steal money or data. “We’ve seen long-tail operations where they were going 10, 12, 18 months working in some of these organizations,” says Adam Meyers, a senior vice president for counter adversary operations at the security company CrowdStrike. Sometimes, though, North Korean operatives last just a few days— enough time to download huge amounts of company data or plant malicious software in a company’s systems before abruptly quitting. That code could alter financial data or manipulate security information. Or these seeds could lay dormant for months, even years.

“The potential risk from even one minute of access to systems is almost unlimited for an individual company,” says Declan Cummings, the head of engineering at software company Cinder. Experts say that attacks are ramping up not just in the US but also in Germany, France, Britain, Japan and other countries. They urge companies to do rigorous due diligence: speak directly to references, watch for candidates making sudden changes of address, use reputable online screening tools, and conduct a physical interview or in-person ID verification.

But none of these methods are foolproof, and AI tools are constantly weakening them. ChatGPT and the like give almost anyone the capacity to answer esoteric questions in real time with unearned confidence, and their fluency with coding threatens to make programming tests irrelevant. AI video filters and deepfakes can also add to the subterfuge.

At an onboarding call, for instance, many HR representatives now ask new employees to hold their ID up to the camera for closer inspection. “But the fraudsters have a neat trick there,” says Donal Greene, a biometrics expert at the online background check provider Certn. They take a green-colored card the exact shape and size of an identity card—a mini green screen—and, using deepfake technology, project the image of an ID onto it. “They can actually move it and show the reflection,” says Greene. “It’s very sophisticated.” North Korean agents have even been known to send look-alikes to pick up a physical ID card from an office or to take a drug test required by prospective employers.

Even security experts can be fooled. In July 2024, Knowbe4, a Florida-based company that offers security training, discovered that a new hire known as “Kyle” was actually a foreign agent. “He interviewed great,” says Brian Jack, KnowBe4’s chief information security officer. “He was on camera, his résumé was right, his background check cleared, his ID cleared verification. We didn’t have any reason to suspect this wasn’t a valid candidate.” But when his facilitator—the US-based individual giving him cover—tried to install malware on Kyle’s company computer, the security team caught on and shut him out.

Back in london, Simon Wijckmans couldn’t let go of the idea that somebody had tried to fool him. He’d just read about the Knowbe4 case, which deepened his suspicions. He conducted background checks and discovered that some of his candidates were definitely using stolen identities. And, he found, some of them were linked to known North Korean operations. So Wijckmans decided to wage a little counter exercise of his own, and he invited me to observe.

I dial in to Google Meet at 3 am Pacific time, tired and bleary. We deliberately picked this offensively early hour because it’s 6 am in Miami, where the candidate, “Harry,” claims to be.

Harry joins the call, looking pretty fresh-faced. He’s maybe in his late twenties, with short, straight, black hair. Everything about him seems deliberately nonspecific: He wears a plain black crewneck sweater and speaks into an off-brand headset. “I just woke up early today for this interview, no problem,” he says. “I know that working with UK hours is kind of a requirement, so I can get my working hours to yours, so no problem with it.”

So far, everything matches the hallmarks of a fake worker. Harry’s virtual background is one of the default options provided by Google Meet, and his connection is a touch slow. His English is good but heavily accented, even though he tells us he was born in New York and grew up in Brooklyn. Wijckmans starts with some typical interview questions, and Harry keeps glancing off to his right as he responds. He talks about various coding languages and name-drops the frameworks he’s familiar with. Wijckmans starts asking some deeper technical questions. Harry pauses. He looks confused. “Can I rejoin the meeting?” he asks. “I have a problem with my microphone.” Wijckman nods, and Harry disappears.

A couple of minutes pass, and I start to fret that we’ve scared him away, but then he pops back into the meeting. His connection isn’t much better, but his answers are clearer. Maybe he restarted his chatbot, or got a coworker to coach him. The call runs a few more minutes and we say goodbye.

Our next applicant calls himself “Nic.” On his résumé he’s got a link to a personal website, but this guy doesn’t look much like the profile photo on the site. This is his second interview with Wijckmans, and we are certain that he’s faking it: He’s one of the applicants who failed the background check after his first call, although he doesn’t know that.

Nic’s English is worse than Harry’s: When he’s asked what time it is, he tells us it’s “six and past” before correcting himself and saying “quarter to seven.” Where does he live? “I’m in Ohio for now,” he beams, like a kid who got something right in a pop quiz.

Several minutes in, though, his answers become nonsensical. Simon asks him a question about web security. “Political leaders ... government officials or the agencies responsible for border security,” Nic says. “They’re responsible for monitoring and also securing the borders, so we can employ the personnel to patrol the borders and also check the documents and enforce the immigration laws.”

I’m swapping messages with Wijckmans on the back channel we’ve set up when it dawns on us: Whatever AI bot Nic seems to be using must have misinterpreted a mention of “Border Gateway Protocol”—a system for sending traffic across the internet—with national borders, and started spewing verbiage about immigration enforcement. “What a waste of time,” Wijckmans messages me. We wrap up the conversation abruptly.

I try to put myself in the seat of a hiring manager or screener who’s under pressure. The fraudsters’ words may not have always made sense, but their test scores and résumés looked solid, and their technical-sounding guff might be enough to fool an uninformed recruiter. I suspect at least one of them could have made it to the next step in some unsuspecting company’s hiring process.

Wijckmans tells me he has a plan if he comes across another pretender. He has created a web page that looks like a standard coding assessment, which he’ll send to fake candidates. As soon as they hit the button to start the test, their browser will spawn dozens of pop-up pages that bounce around the screen, all of them featuring information on how to defect from North Korea. Then loud music plays—a rickroll, “The Star-Spangled Banner”—before the computer starts downloading random files and emits an ear-splitting beep. “Just a little payback,” he says.

Wijckman’s stunt is not going to stop the pretenders, of course. But maybe it will irritate them for a moment. Then they’ll get back to work, signing on from some hacking sweatshop in China or through a laptop farm in the US, and join the next team meeting—a quiet, camera-off chat with coworkers just like me or you.

I've been meaning to post updates for my full stack web dev project, that's literally why I made tumblr, but ever since I burnt out on my last web dev job 5 months ago I feel so demotivated to even continue programming...I thought other peoples update posts would motivate me, but my brain is very stubborn XD I'm starting to hate IT and I feel v lost rn :c I was thinking of switching from web development to game development, but my biggest gripe with web dev was extreme sexism and I don't think game dev solves that unfortunately. Also I am from a shitty tourist town that already has very few IT companies (most of them are web agencies) and remote positions are all rejecting me immediately with no explanation...I don't really want to give up web dev as it has literally been my personality trait from like 2009 (remember stardoll presentations lol), but it's been completely tainted by bad experiences. Thank you, that's it.

How to Build a High-Performing Remote Development Team in 2025

Remote development is no longer an alternative—it’s the norm. In 2025, businesses are increasingly adopting remote models not just to reduce costs but to access global talent, accelerate development cycles, and stay competitive. But building a high-performing remote team takes more than just hiring developers who work from home.

Whether you're a startup scaling fast or an enterprise aiming to streamline operations, here's how to build a remote development team that delivers real results.

1. Define Your Project Scope Clearly

Before assembling a team, get crystal clear about:

The tech stack you need (e.g., .NET, Python, C, React, DevOps)

Short-term vs. long-term goals

Expected deliverables and KPIs

Whether you need full-time dedicated resources or flexible contract-based roles

At Acrosstek, we help businesses clarify this blueprint before recruitment begins, ensuring alignment from day one.

2. Prioritize Skill + Cultural Fit

You want developers who can do the job and blend with your company culture. Look for:

Problem-solving ability, not just code knowledge

Strong communication skills, especially in remote setups

Time zone alignment or a system to ensure overlap in working hours

Adaptability, especially if you work in agile sprints

A reputable IT staffing partner can help assess both technical and soft skills—streamlining the hiring process.

3. Use Adaptive Hiring Models

Traditional hiring methods are often slow and rigid. Adaptive hiring, offered by firms like Acrosstek, changes the game by:

Offering C2H (Contract-to-Hire) or Direct Hire options

Enabling on-demand scaling of your tech team

Providing pre-vetted remote developers globally

This gives your business the flexibility to experiment, scale, or shift focus—without the overhead of permanent hiring.

4. Invest in Onboarding & Knowledge Transfer

The first 30 days set the tone. A great onboarding process should include:

Documentation of existing codebases and workflows

Clear role definitions

Introduction to team culture, tools, and expectations

A mentorship model to ease the new developer into the system

The better your onboarding, the faster your remote hires become productive contributors.

5. Embrace a Remote-First Tech Stack

The right tools can make or break remote productivity. Consider:

Project Management: Jira, Trello, ClickUp

Code Repositories: GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket

CI/CD & QA Tools: Jenkins, Selenium, Appium

Communication: Slack, MS Teams, Zoom

Time Tracking: Hubstaff, Time Doctor

Make sure your team has access to tools that support transparency, collaboration, and agile workflows.

6. Foster Communication & Team Culture

One of the biggest threats to remote success is isolation. Combat this with:

Daily standups or weekly sync meetings

Virtual coffee breaks or fun channels on Slack

Clear communication guidelines (asynchronous vs. real-time)

Celebrating milestones and wins, no matter how small

High-performing remote teams aren’t just efficient—they’re connected.

7. Focus on Continuous Learning & Growth

Your developers want to grow. Keep them engaged with:

Access to online learning platforms like Udemy, Coursera, Pluralsight

Internal tech talks or weekly demos

Constructive feedback loops and performance reviews

Opportunities to contribute to open-source projects or R&D

This builds loyalty, improves retention, and keeps your team ahead of the curve.

8. Partner With a Remote Staffing Expert

Building and managing a remote development team can be complex. That’s why more companies in 2025 are turning to expert partners like Acrosstek, who offer:

Access to pre-vetted tech talent across time zones

End-to-end hiring for contract, contract-to-hire, and direct roles

Deep domain expertise in QA Automation, Cloud, AI, Blockchain, and more

Flexible engagement models tailored to startup and enterprise needs

A strong staffing partner saves you time, cost, and hiring risk—so you can focus on scaling your core business.

Conclusion

Building a remote development team that actually performs isn’t just about finding good coders. It’s about creating a system that attracts, integrates, supports, and retains great people—no matter where they are.

In 2025 and beyond, businesses that master remote hiring and team building will lead the innovation race. And with the right strategies and partners in place, you can be one of them.

Recruiting skilled developers through job boards can make a lot of difference in developing tech teams. However, navigating job boards to attract developers is not that easy. It requires good strategic planning and knowing what works best to attract top talents. With the right approach, you can access a global pool of highly qualified developers on job boards. Here are key factors to consider when using job boards for developer recruitment. Crafting an Attractive Job Description A good job description clearly states precisely what a candidate needs to fulfill all the requirements. Job descriptions highlight the developer's various responsibilities and the skills that would appeal to the developer. This should not be a generalization to parrot what becomes standard; rather, it should highlight how that developer's contribution will impact the whole company's success. Developers like to know that what they do fits into the whole. Be explicit about salary, remote working, and other perquisites that separate you from the rest. Many developers are more interested in flexibility, development opportunities, and work-life balance than traditional perks. Providing clear and straightforward information will help you reduce the pool of unqualified candidates and invite those who align with your company values. A checklist for hiring software developers can make recruitment easier. Career growth opportunities and the projects they will work on are also strong selling points. Highlighting Company Culture and Tech Stack Developers invest most of their working hours in the organization to dig into an environment that complements their values and interests. Presenting your culture and tech stack in your job post goes a long way in attracting the right talent. Share insights into your work style, team structure, and collaborative processes. Developers seek companies that inspire innovative thoughts, promise career growth, and welcome open-source contributions. Clearly outlining your tech stack will give developers insight into whether their skill set would work in your company. Cutting-edge technology or new skill training gives you the advantage of attracting developers. You can also share testimonials from existing team members or a day-in-the-life view, giving the candidates an immersive experience. Select the Right Job Board Not all job boards are created equal for developers. Choosing the right one ensures reaching the right person for the right job. Various job boards target different expertise levels; Turing and Topcoder offer work for highly skilled developers, whereas one might look at Upwork and Fiverr freelance positions. Knowing where your ideal candidates look will hugely impact the quality of applicants you get. Geographic preference also determines the choice of a job board. If remote developers are on your list of recruits, check out the global job boards. If you wish to hire local talent, local job boards may serve your purpose well. You must match the channels you're hiring from with the candidates you seek to have a higher chance of accomplishing desired outcomes. Multilingual job boards can take this a step further for global companies. Keywords and SEO Optimization Most job boards will use search algorithms that prioritize optimized job listings. Including relevant keywords in your job title and description makes them much easier to find. Research into the standard terms that developers tend to search based on their specific role, like "React Developer," "Python Engineer," and "Full-Stack Developer." A clearly articulated job listing is likely to attract an ideal candidate. Trying out keyword variations and using synonyms will enhance your searchability. Efficient Candidate Screening Job boards will be a source of many applications, so an efficient screening process is necessary. Using an ATS will allow for the scanning of CVs, facilitating further filtering of the skilled candidates from the application list.

Depending on the pre-screening question related to the skill sets and experience, lessening the pool interests many job boards since it grants them time to check out some screening tools. Additionally, introducing a few very short ice-breaking interviews would help gauge cultural fit as a starter, thus allowing for the progression of only the serious and most capable candidates onward. Then, artificial intelligence will screen resumes, which would streamline the process. Connect with Passive Candidates Many developers on job postings are not actively searching for jobs but are flexible at the right opportunity. Connecting with passive candidates builds a larger talent pool. You should consider direct messaging developers whose bios tick boxes for you. Personalization is key. A personalized message about why this opportunity is different can spark some interest. Building a short rapport, even with those not actively looking at jobs, opens up the door for later opportunities. Maintaining a pipeline of candidates can add efficiency to future hiring cycles. Engaging talent in developers' communities and online forums also builds engagement. Offering Competitive Salary The demand for developers is so high that salaries are crucial for attracting talent. Job postings that fail to include a salary range usually receive fewer applications. Research the market rates for the location and position and offer a fair and desirable package. Adding bonuses, work-from-home options, and training stipends will make your offer more attractive. Salary expectation transparency avoids wasting time on misfit candidates while instilling a sense of trust. It also helps avoid any potential roadblocks in negotiations later in the hiring process. Ensuring a Smooth Application Process Long or complicated application questions can discourage developers from applying, while a streamlined process would produce better-quality applications. Do not ask people to fill in endless forms or repeat the same information that is present on resumes or LinkedIn profiles. Keeping applications short and sweet minimizes the chance of discouraging a candidate from applying altogether. Allowing developers to substitute long application forms with GitHub links or coding samples could give a true insight into their potential, with a flavor of engagement in the process. Replying Quickly Speed of communication is important to keeping applicants engaged. Since many developers get more than one offer, not responding fast could cost you the chance to attract top talent. Quickly acknowledge applications and give expectations for the next steps. Even if a candidate asks for a decision more than once and is ultimately not selected, send them a courteous response to leave a positive impression. Setting up automated responses and scheduling tools for communication can help maintain efficiency. Informing candidates throughout the process will create a professional and respectful recruitment experience. Effectively Assessing Technical Skills Evaluating a developer's technical competencies is essential to the hiring process. However, conventional coding tests can occasionally seem detached from actual job requirements. Rather than relying on standard algorithm challenges, it may be beneficial to implement task-based evaluations that mirror real responsibilities encountered in the role. Assigning take-home coding tasks or conducting live coding sessions provide more precise insights into a candidate's problem-solving methods. Permitting developers to utilize their preferred tools and work environments during assessments fosters a more authentic and equitable evaluation of their capabilities. Endnote To effectively leverage job boards, it is essential to blend strategy with optimization and engagement efforts. Organizations can attract outstanding developers who share their objectives by carefully choosing appropriate platforms, crafting engaging job advertisements, and simplifying the hiring processes.

Persistent refinement of recruitment strategies using data analysis and feedback ensures sustained success in forming a robust and skilled technology team.

From Confused to Coder! Why 2025 Is the Best Year to Start Your Tech Career

If you’ve been thinking, “I want to do something in tech… but I have no idea where to start,” you’re not alone.

Maybe you’re a student unsure about college, someone stuck in a job you don’t enjoy, or a person who’s just curious about how websites and apps work. Guess what? You don’t need a CS degree, 10 years of math, or a genius IQ to start.

2025 is the best year yet to break into tech, and it’s never been more beginner friendly if you know where to look and how to learn smart.

🔥 Why Tech Is Still the Best Career Bet

Despite market fluctuations, one thing is clear: every business is going digital. That means endless demand for people who can design, code, and build technology.

Here’s why tech is still a great place to be in 2025:

Remote-friendly jobs – work from anywhere

Creative freedom – build tools, products, even games

High pay, even for juniors

Merit-based growth – no degree? No problem

Startup boom – more companies need tech talent than ever

🤔 But Where Do I Start?

That’s the golden question.

There are so many options web development, app development, data science, AI, design, cybersecurity that it’s easy to freeze.

If you’re new and unsure, start with Full Stack Web Development. It gives you:

A strong foundation (frontend + backend)

Freedom to build real projects

Flexibility to pivot later into mobile apps, DevOps, or even product roles

You’ll be able to create full working products on your own and nothing builds confidence like seeing something you made come to life.

💡 Real Learning > Theory Overload

Most people fail to break into tech because they go the wrong way:

Watching tutorials for months

Taking notes but never building

Getting stuck on “which course is best?” for weeks

Truth is, the best way to learn tech is to build things. Even better if you’re doing it with structure, mentorship, and real deadlines.

This is exactly what makes places like Brototype - Kerala’s best software training institute stand out. Instead of endless theory, their students dive straight into real-world coding, team collaboration, and job-focused challenges from day one.

It’s not just about writing code. It’s about building the mindset of a developer.

🚀 What a Real Beginner’s Tech Journey Looks Like

Here’s what your first 6 months could look like:

Month 1–2:

Learn HTML, CSS, JavaScript

Build your first website

Understand how the web works

Month 3–4:

Learn a frontend framework (like React)

Build UI components, dashboards, small projects

Month 5–6:

Learn backend (Node.js, Express)

Work with databases (MongoDB)

Build full stack apps with login, APIs, and dashboards

You won’t just learn. You’ll build a portfolio. That’s what gets you hired.

📈 What You Can Do After 6–9 Months of Focused Learning

Get your first internship or remote job

Start freelancing on platforms like Upwork

Work on real client projects

Launch your own product

Build a network and keep leveling up

The beauty of tech? No one cares where you started. They care what you can do.

🙌 Tech Is Not Just for “Techies”

You don’t need to be the smartest person in the room. You need:

Consistency

Curiosity

A willingness to learn through failure

We’ve seen college dropouts, delivery boys, teachers, nurses — people from all walks of life rebuild their future by learning to code.

If you want a fresh start, tech can be your second chance.

🎯 Final Words

The hardest part is starting. The second hardest part? Not giving up.

But the reward creative freedom, remote work, job security, and the joy of building something real is more than worth it.

2025 is full of opportunity. If you’re serious about changing your life, don’t just dream about it.

Start today. Build tomorrow.
