Whoever you are is looking for work, be careful of fake job vacancies that target your credentials data.

This content explains the characteristics of phishing websites by taking case examples from the X (Twitter) Workfess account.

Phishers create a fake website blibli.com and send phishing links to victims to deceive them. It is as if the message was sent by the blibli.com recruitment party to obtain the victim’s credential data in the form of ID/Phone Number and Password.

From this message, there are three possibilities:

• Steal your credentials then they use your ID and password to log in to the official website
• Trick you into getting benefits from spreading referral codes
• Combination of points 1 and 2.
