Hamiltonian Dynamics’ Post

We're working on a fairly time pressing team build for a Security Services client of ours. They want to make 11 hires before end of April. They decided to advertise some of these roles themselves - fair enough, give it a whirl, the market's a bit softer at the minute. I'd do the same. They had 542 applicants. 2 fit what they were looking for. Not 2 hires. Not 2 offers. 2 were worth putting in the process. Time wise, having to go through every single application, is the ROI there? Don't confuse high application count with easy hiring.

Let’s talk about hiring scams. They are rampant right now. A difficult hiring market combined with inflation opens more opportunities that the threat actor may convince folks in need. This is a real example I received this week. I know it’s fake due to these clues. 🕵️♀️ Text sent by a very garbled PUBLIC hotmail address (you know it’s public/not a private owned domain because it says @ Hotmail dot com). Professional companies do not use emails that are garbled or from a public hotmail domain. And most will not “text / SMS” via email. Any emailed SMSs / texts are sus. 🕵️♀️ I’m not a part time worker. If anyone would refer me it would be full time. 🕵️♀️ Directs me to a what’s app number. Clear sign of fraud if they take you from a clear channel to an encrypted channel (what’s app, telegram, signal etc all heavily used for fraud). 🕵️♀️ The weird “you must be at least 24 years old”….wut? What other clues do you see that would make you report this as junk? And remember to NEVER respond. This adds you to many fraudster lists in the future each time you respond. What is the motive? Usually to steal your personally identifiable information (PII) and perhaps some payment info. Then use that information to turn a fraudulent profit.

Why Penetration testing and Red-Team operations are important to any size company. The average cost of a data breach being either from the web or from physical access to a company's building is around 4.5 million US dollars. Cleaning up a data breach involves extensive planning and action to fix. Every company when hit with a data breach has to report it to the public which can ruin their reputation and customer trust. Hiring a Penetration testing company to make sure systems are secure and having then preform a Red-Team operation on the company's building is vital to having a successful reputation and keeps valuable customer information secure. Penetration testing averages out to 4,000 to 15,000 US dollars for a thorough checkup on your systems to ensure they are secure. Wouldn't you rather pay that than 4.5 million?
