Very unlikely, If you read and refer to the article. The identity was stolen but the pic is a stock photo.

The two images at the top of this story are a stock photo and what KnowBe4 says is the AI fake based on the stock photo.

My thought on that is that they needed a new location so their image didn't just look like a modified version of another of the victim's public images, so NK searched for a stock photo for a professional looking location. Ars has just located the stock image they started from.

Why not just take a new one at a professional looking location in NK?

The last photographer starved to death and the guy who imported cameras got executed for not singing Kim's praises loud enough every morning.
