Israel Uncovers Iranian Cyberattack Targeting Jobseekers

Iranwire – The Israel National Cyber Directorate (INCD) uncovered this week an Iranian cyberattack targeting Israeli jobseekers, local media report.

The hackers are sending fake messages to users of job search websites pretending to be official messages from these websites, the Jerusalem Post cited the agency as saying on September 21. 

The messages include a malicious link allowing the hackers to steal photos of ID cards, resume files and other personal information of those targeted.

The INCD pointed out that the messages include typos.

It said it had provided relevant websites with the information necessary to examine their computer systems to uncover if they had been targeted by the cyberattack.

In July, the Israel Security Agency, known as the Shin Bet, announced it had detected an attempt by the Islamic Republic of Iran to collect information from Israeli researchers and civil servants using a phishing campaign involving fake LinkedIn profiles.
