Job seekers are looking for jobs after falling victim to the Corona epidemic. And by taking advantage of this opportunity, hacker anagona has increased at an excessive rate on LinkedIn with fake job advertisements.
A recent Gizmodo report has uncovered a fake job trap on LinkedIn.
Cybercriminals are using a sophisticated and realistic campaign on LinkedIn to hack into users' devices, according to a report by e-Centaur, a cybersecurity solutions service provider.
The organization claims that a certain hacking group has been trying to trap job seekers in various fake jobs by trying to infect them through remote code execution.
This remote code execution allows hackers to gain remote access to the victim's device. As a result, hackers can send, receive, launch or even delete a file from the victim's device without the victim's permission.
According to the report, these hackers are actually associated with many big cyber crime cycles. This group of cyber criminals is known as 'Golden Chicken'.
It is known that hackers send messages directly to the user with job offers. This job offer includes a zip file. And this file contains malware, which helps the hacker to get into the user's device.
