omg, you guys, i just heard about the most sketchy thing - hackers are using fake job interviews to spread a trojan virus called jobstealer. like, can you even imagine being desperate for a job and then getting scammed like that? it's just so wrong. apparently, these hackers contact people looking for jobs and invite them to a fake video conference, where they're prompted to download some software that's actually a virus.



so, here's how it works - the hackers create a fake video conferencing website that looks super legit, and they even spoof real sites like webex to make it seem more real. and, of course, they have social media accounts all set up to make it look like a real company. it's pretty crazy how far they'll go to trick people. if you're on a mac, they'll even try to get you to run the virus through the terminal or a disk image file - which, let's be real, is a huge red flag.



the jobstealer virus is pretty nasty, too - it collects all sorts of data from your system, like browser extensions, passwords, notes, and more. and then, it uploads all that data to a server, where the hackers can use it to steal cryptocurrency wallets and stuff. it's just so messed up. and the worst part is, there are versions of the virus for pretty much every platform - windows, macos, ios, android, and linux. although, supposedly, the ios, android, and linux versions haven't been seen in the wild yet.



anyway, the good news is that there's an antivirus software called dr.web that can detect and remove the jobstealer virus. so, if you're looking for a job and you get a suspicious emailRead more: Full article on www.pcgamer.com
