Summary:
A hacker group called ResumeLooters stole personal data from over 2 million job seekers across 65 websites, mainly in Asia but also affecting others in the US, Europe, and South America. They used SQL injection and cross-site scripting (XSS) attacks to access names, phone numbers, emails, and dates of birth, as well as information about job seekers’ experience, employment history, and other sensitive personal data, which is now being sold online. Be cautious about what information you share online and consider checking your digital footprint for potential exposure.
The attacks primarily focused on the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region, targeting sites in Australia, Taiwan, China, Thailand, India, and Vietnam. However, other compromised companies were located in other regions, including Brazil, Italy, Mexico, Russia, Turkey, and the US.
No one cares about third world countries
That's not true. A lot of people for example care about what happens in the US despite there not being socialized healthcare.
I'll cry for Australia and Taiwan. I guess you can't remain in the first world forever. 🤷♂️ /s
I already knew that the US is a third world country, but it's new to me that Europe has gotten there as well.
