🕵️‍♂️ Job-Seekers Are the New Frontline for Cyber Attacks

🔍 A threat group called BatShadow is targeting job-seekers and marketers with fake recruitment emails delivering a Go-based backdoor called Vampire Bot.

📧 The lure arrives as a ZIP file claiming to be a job description. Inside: a decoy PDF and a disguised “.pdf.exe” file that launches an infection chain.

💻 The malware profiles the host, captures screenshots, steals credentials, and connects to a remote attacker server – blending into normal traffic and staying hidden.

⚠️ Why it matters: your candidate pipeline may be your weakest human link. One compromised applicant or contractor can expose your network before formal onboarding begins.

📊 Use AUMINT.io to simulate recruitment-style attacks, train your team – and test your human firewalls.

🔐 Cyber Attacks Targeting Firms Skyrocket

🚨 Professional services firms are now prime targets for sophisticated cybercrime.

🕵️‍♂️ Attackers exploit human trust, impersonate vendors, and manipulate helpdesks to steal sensitive client data.

💰 Double extortion is skyrocketing – attackers steal data first, then demand multi-million-dollar ransoms. Mid-sized firms are most vulnerable.

⚠️ Standard IT controls are no longer enough. Employee awareness, strict MFA, and continuous monitoring are critical defenses.

📊 AUMINT.io simulations expose hidden vulnerabilities and train employees to act as a human firewall.

🐝 Honeypots Catch Attackers Cheap and Fast

🐝 Honeypots are decoys that legitimate users never touch – when they trigger, you know an attacker is inside your sightline.

🔍 Simple decoys like fake admin accounts, bogus API keys, or dummy repos produce high-fidelity alerts without the false-positive noise of costly SIEM setups.

⚠️ In one real case, planted OAuth tokens exposed a contractor trying to exfiltrate sensitive data in days – setup cost: a few hours.

🧭 For budget-constrained teams, honeypots change the detection game – you chase signals that should never exist, not faint anomalies buried in normal logs.

🛡️ They are not a cure-all – pair them with social engineering simulations, least-privilege policies, and continuous monitoring to close the human gaps attackers exploit.

📊 AUMINT.io simulates realistic human-targeted attacks and shows you where employees or vendors will likely fall for lures that lead attackers to your crown jewels.
