The workers allegedly use stolen or forged identities, VPNs, proxies, and laptop-farm tools to conceal their locations. One Australian healthcare case involved three employees impersonating Chinese individuals, while another investigation found a sales and marketing hire suspected of using a stolen or borrowed identity.
