❌Phishing scams are certainly getting more creative for recruiters.❌ Last week I received a #phishing email in the form of a #LinkedIn #job #application through to my email.📧 The email didn't have a resume attached, came through to my general email inbox instead of my ad response folder, and the candidate apparently has 2 names, which sparked my caution. It was also in response to a job I didn't have posted and in a location I am not currently covering...🤔 Outside of this, I struggled to pick up any more tells in the post and it did look to be genuine outside of the above. It's a good job that @KeepNet is providing up-to-date phishing and general security training to keep us educated on potential threats.👏 Given how many applications #recruiters and internal Talent Acquisition teams receive, this could've easily caught me out and left me in a sticky situation.🔓 I've attached a screenshot of the email, would you have picked up on this phishing attempt?

One for the Security Leaders out there... Recruitment is a sales industry and as A Cyber Security Recruiter I am keen to know what you (Security Leaders) think the best kind of cold approach is, if any! I have always been one to pick up the phone and introduce myself to try build lasting relationships. However it seems this approach is now a bit outdated as you receive so many calls daily. What are your thoughts? What is the best way to introduce ourselves as Cyber Security Recruiters? #cyber #ciso #sales #cybersecurityrecruitment

Be aware from the fake recruitment agencies and their intents. Many cyber criminals using the recruitment methodology for collecting as much data about you and your responsibilities at the company you are working for especially if you are an executive and a top manager or a senior. This type of cyberattack is the 1st cyberattack phase which is called “Reconnaissance”, and part of Social Engineering and Spear/Whale phishing campaign which later the attack will be conduct. How can you figure out: 1. Usually from the questions and requirements they ask for from the 1st or 2nd communication. 2. Actually, you’ll feel something suspicious, but you ignores that signs because you are excited. 3. Advice: Use your back experience with the legitimate agencies as a baseline or as a standard and if you figure any deviations or anomalies from the baseline, directly cut the conversation. 4. Be aware: the cyber criminals using this attack technique are smart and not amateurs. 5. Extra advice: Don’t be over suspicious. The Indicator of Attack’s artifacts (signs/traces you are under attack) are clear so put your excitement and your emotional impulsiveness aside by using your brain and your basic Intuitions. Note: You can use the mentioned advices also for figuring out the fake relations and people. Follow the traces, sometimes you can catch the lie from its size!

Beware of hackers posing as job applicants! As cyber threats rise, some security leaders are ramping up hiring scrutiny to spot bad actors. The cybersecurity sector faces a global shortfall of 4 million professionals, and fraudsters are exploiting this demand. Lili Infante, CEO of CAT Labs, shared at WSJ's Tech Live: Cybersecurity conference that her firm has weeded out over 50 North Korean spies posing as candidates! These infiltrators aim to steal intellectual property and exploit vulnerabilities. Stay vigilant and enhance your hiring processes! https://lnkd.in/gTua-bSg

𝙋𝙡𝙚𝙖𝙨𝙚, 𝘿𝙤𝙣'𝙩 𝙏𝙚𝙡𝙡 𝘼𝙣𝙮𝙤𝙣𝙚.........🤫 In conversation with a potential client looking for a senior Cyber Security/ IT Security leader yesterday, the reason they turned to us is that they do not want it known that they are looking for such a person, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹, it's because they do not want to be bombarded with 'non' relevant applicants (lots of them) applying through an online job ad and do not want to be bombarded with unsolicited CV's. The company tried the direct route for other Cyber Security/ IT Security roles and they quickly established that the hidden costs 💰 & hidden time 🕰️ it took to try and get someone onboard totally outweighed reaching out to a specialist recruiter, someone who has an engaged 🤗 community & knows what people within their network are looking for from their next role. So for your next Cyber Security or IT Security hire, remember, the direct route may seem cheaper and faster, but not always. Reach out to us and let us do the hard work for you 👍. #ciso #cisos #cisolife #cyber #cybersecurity #cyberjobs #infosec #infosecjobs #informationsecurity #jobs
