Employment scams are nothing new, and they come in a variety of flavors, from fake job offers sent via text to fake applications distributed via Google Forms. Netflix impersonators even ran a similar recruitment email campaign last year. Bad actors are typically trying to phish personal information or convince you to send them money for various (fake) onboarding expenses.
The fraud begins with a phishing email from a "recruiter" at one of more than 34 companies, inviting candidates to schedule a meeting to discuss further. Scammers appear to be using the names and photos of real recruiters at these companies, making them less likely to raise suspicion if targets try to verify their legitimacy.
Threat actors appear to be using a legitimate HR platform called PeopleForce and a domain operated by Salesforce to initiate the scam, though it's not clear whether they created accounts or are using stolen credentials.
Signs of a fake job scam
Just because a calendar or application link appears to go to a legitimate site doesn't mean you're safe. Obviously, scammers have many ways of spoofing URLs or redirecting traffic so you don't realize you're being phished. Look carefully at the address bar on the final window for sneaky characters or other URL tricks.
If you're being prompted to enter single sign-on credentials (such as Apple, Google, or Facebook) to schedule an interview or fill out an application, this is a red flag. Try to interact with the pop-up, such as by dragging it away from the main browser window or highlighting the URL. If you can't, it's likely a fake. A password manager can also protect against BitB attacks, as these tools won't fill credentials, except on the legitimate domain.
