Cybercriminals are targeting employers, employees, and job seekers.
Now Hiring! Cybercriminals On The Hunt
Employer Tips:
Ensure secure, clear communication to your staff on how you'll request personal private information updates or confirmations.
Benefit enrollment and HR vendor exploitation schemes are big threat themes so be sure to communicate and train employees and applicants to be on the lookout for fakes and doppelgangers.
Regularly update platforms and require robust authentication methods for employees and applicants to access profiles and work with IT to provide updated best practices.
Employee Tips:
You can always check with HR directly before clicking any links or providing updated personal private information.
Never use links provided in an email or digital communication...go direct to the portal or provide the information via a known secure means.
Train regularly to spot employment scams and increase your overall cybersecurity posture...this training should be provided by your employer at least annually.
Job Seeker Tips:
Look out for fake job postings and unsolicited offers asking for personal private information before you start your role.
Any job listing asking or requiring payment before you start to cover background check cost or other fees is fake...no legitimate organization operates in this manner.
Research the company! Check to see if there's a legitimate website, reviews, and any incorporated history with local municipalities.
