Our latest research into recruitment scams is featured in the BBC, highlighting how cybercriminals are exploiting the job-search process to deliver malware and steal sensitive information. The tactics are becoming increasingly convincing: fake recruiters, realistic job opportunities, and malicious apps disguised as legitimate interview or assessment tools. In some cases, victims have lost significant amounts of money after unknowingly installing malicious software. Job seekers, if a recruiter asks you to download an app or software to participate in an interview, stop and verify it first.

Can Malwarebytes scam a room full of anti-scam professionals? 🤔 It’s day 1 at the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) Summit in San Francisco, and we wanted to prove how easy it is for anyone to fall for a scam.

We’re heading to San Francisco next week for the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (GASA) Summit, where we’re tackling scams from every angle through research, education and innovation. Cybersecurity is no longer just about blocking threats. It’s about helping people make decisions. Scams aren't just suspicious files or obvious phishing emails. Today's scams are convincing messages, spoofed websites, deepfakes, AI-generated impersonations, and highly targeted lures built from data exposed in breaches. That means cybersecurity has to evolve beyond simply blocking threats. It has to help people make better decisions in the moment of doubt. At Malwarebytes, we’re building toward that future while also looking upstream: assessing digital footprints and helping reduce the amount of personal information attackers can use against everyday people. We’re proud to be a GASA member and to contribute to an ecosystem bringing together cybersecurity, government, technology, and anti-fraud leaders from around the world. Visit us at booth 8 and let’s talk about what it takes to stay ahead of the next generation of scams.
