Recruitment Scams on the Rise: How Threat Actors Exploit Job Seekers

A significant increase in recruitment scams has been observed, with three distinct threat actors targeting job seekers. The first impersonates tech employers using advance fee fraud tactics. The second poses as a logistics recruitment agency, targeting 18 geographies and affecting 63,000 people in the U.S. alone. The third impersonates the Government of Singapore to steal personal identity numbers and Telegram account details. These scams exploit economic factors and the rise of gig work, often using task-based schemes to extract money and free labor from victims.

Russian COLDRIVER Hackers Deploy LOSTKEYS Malware to Steal Sensitive Information

The Google Threat Intelligence Group has identified a sophisticated malware called LOSTKEYS, attributed to the Russian government-backed threat actor COLDRIVER. Active since December 2023, LOSTKEYS represents an evolution in COLDRIVER's toolkit, targeting high-value entities such as NATO governments, NGOs, and former intelligence officers. The malware exfiltrates specific files, harvests system information, and targets individuals linked to Ukraine or Western governments. COLDRIVER's primary goal appears to be intelligence collection aligned with Russia's interests. The infection chain involves a complex multi-stage process, beginning with a fake CAPTCHA and employing various evasion tactics. Google has implemented countermeasures and recommends enhanced security measures for users.
