Recently, there were reports of attacks being distributed via email designed to trick job seekers into sharing their personal details. Scammers post for job opportunities as communications from LinkedIn, claiming that a company is “urgently seeking” resources that match your experience and within “your region”.
At such times, identify if :
1) It comes from a real LinkedIn email address
2) It addresses recipients by name and it mentions what qualification and location the employer is looking for.
3) It is written in not-so-good English
These emails redirect the user to a website where they would be asked to upload their CV, thereby easily stealing all the information. You would hand over your full name, date of birth, work and home email addresses, work and home telephone numbers to the attacker without hesitation.
Such attacks give rise to targetted spam attacks or phone calls aiming to damage corporate emails of CXOs.
