When Hackers Pose as Job Seekers – Your HR Inbox Becomes a Breach Point
📎 Your HR Team Might Be Downloading Hackers Right Now
🚨 Cybercriminals are now posing as job applicants – and it’s working.
💼 Fake resumes embedded with malware are being sent to recruiters every day. They look real. They match the job posting. But a single click installs a backdoor into your corporate network.
🎯 This tactic targets the one team that must open attachments from strangers: HR.
🧠 Groups like FIN6 are launching full campaigns this way – impersonating job seekers, injecting code into .docx files, and silently gaining access before anyone notices.
📉 Most security teams don’t train HR to defend against threats disguised as applications.
📌 That’s where AUMINT.io steps in.

🧠 You Can’t Protect What You Don’t See
Most orgs only monitor what they own.
But attackers look at everything – the exposed, abandoned, and overlooked.
Think:
• Orphaned SaaS apps
• Staff emails leaked on dark web
• Unclaimed DNS records
This isn’t hidden in the dark web. It’s often public – just not on your radar.
