The Indeed job ad scam: how hackers steal your bank details

Hacker are using fake job postings on the Indeed platform to trick candidates into downloading malicious apps that steal sensitive data such as bank details and credit card numbers. The criminals create fake companies with realistic websites and LinkedIn profiles to appear legitimate. They contact applicants, claim they've passed initial screening, and then ask them to download an app named 'Colloqui Indeed' or similar, which installs aggressive malware on Android devices. This malware spies on device activity and extracts personal information. Users are warned to be cautious if asked to download apps outside of official stores like Google Play or App Store, or if they receive suspicious links for urgent meetings.
