Both Job Seekers and Employers Should Be Aware of New Sophisticated Employment Scams
By Roger A. Grimes.
With record low unemployment, a tight labor market, and increasing customer demand, everyone says it is an employee’s job market out there. But it is getting tougher to get a real job and to hire a good employee these days.
An increase in social engineering attacks offering fake jobs and fake employees is making it harder for both potential employees and employers to know who to trust. Job seekers are being offered fake jobs solely to steal their money or they are utilized as unwitting pawns to compromise their existing employers; and employers are being exploited by fake employees who want to steal intellectual property, secrets and value.
Fraudulent jobs and employees are becoming something all job hunters and employers need to worry about. If you are looking for a job, do you know how to spot a fake job? If you are an employer, do you know how to detect a fake employee? This article will offer some suggestions to both potential employees and employers.
Roger covers the following need-to-know topics:
- Fake Job Offers
- Insert Trojan Horse Programs
- Compromise Your Existing Employer
- Company Employment Threats
- Defenses for job seekers and for companies trying to hire people
