Job search website: HACKED!
April 10th, 2010 | by Administrator |by: Christine Zafra
The internet seems to be perfect. Not until hackers try to penetrate it.
A recent happening in the online job aggregate Jobs.ie stirred the wits out of every registered user in the said website. It is an Irish site, small compared to other job aggregates, but no matter what the size of the company is, hackers didn’t care.
The hackers penetrated the system of Jobs.ie and stole resumes from their database. The management was quick to act and called all their members that such mishap happened (to prevent future scams since the hackers already have a copy of their resume).
In light of the recent Jobs.ie breach which was disclosed within 24 hours of occurrence, Galvin said there are many more that go unreported: “I know for a fact that leaks much bigger than the Jobs.ie leak happen every day but they are not disclosed.” Added to this, scammers have got wise to the fact that the resume is a very rich source of information.
