Researchers at Malwarebytes warn that job seekers are increasingly vulnerable to scams as AI enables them to take a “spray-and-pray” approach to job applications. Users who have automated their job application process are more likely to forget where they’ve applied, and an unsolicited message from a recruiter may seem more plausible. Job seekers can also be more willing to overlook or ignore red flags associated with scams, since they’re anxious to avoid missing an opportunity.
Spotted a scam?
- Forward suspicious emails to report@phishing.gov.uk – the NCSC uses the reports to take scam sites down.
- Forward scam texts to 7726, free on most UK networks.
- Never share a one-time code, and check any request for money by calling a number you already trust.
