🔍 Search Clicks Are Now Attack Surface

🔍 Employees searching payroll portals are being ambushed by SEO-poisoned sites that look authentic.

📱 The campaign targets mobile users – phones lack enterprise EDR and often never show up in SIEM logs.

🔗 Fake portals capture credentials and stream them to attackers via WebSocket – access is exploited in real time.

💸 Attackers then change payroll deposit details – money diverts before detection, and investigations look like human error.

⚙️ Defenses must include bookmarking official portals, conditional access with device posture checks, and behavioral monitoring for credential misuse.

📊 AUMINT.io simulates these search-based lures across mobile and desktop, exposing where your humans and tooling fail.

📱 Social Posts Could Trigger Your Next Breach

🔐 A simple “Like” or share on a work device can expose your entire network.

👥 Employees using WhatsApp, LinkedIn or Facebook at work are unwittingly feeding attackers entry points – platform design and social trust make it worse.

🔗 One misplaced click on a fraudulent ad or link can unleash malware or phishing across your organisation.

💸 The average breach cost in South Africa hit R53 million in 2024 – human error is the price tag.

🛡️ At AUMINT.io we simulate real-world social media use and messaging staffing-paths to surface your human risk surface and harden your defences.

🕵️‍♂️ 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.
