on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Gig workers now make up over 50% of global workers, a third of US workers, and 90% say they would freelance, with the gig workforce growing three times faster than usual; real incidents include a developer who mails his token to an offshore team and outsources his job for six figures. Recommended controls are tight written contracts and exit clauses, quick background checks, monitoring for short login bursts and data exfil patterns, and technical enforcement via virtual desktop (VDI), remote browser isolation, and a full Zero Trust stack with adaptive DLP and single‑pass policy enforcement.
