Cybercriminals are targeting job seekers on Indeed by promoting fake interview apps that install malware on Android devices. Malwarebytes reported that users are tricked into downloading a malicious APK file named 'MyInterview' after responding to fake job offers. The apps mimic the Indeed login page and, once installed, establish a VPN connection to steal user data. Victims have reported that the malware prevents app uninstallation and compromises device functionality. The attacks have been reported globally, including in Brazil and Great Britain. Indeed has confirmed that legitimate interviews do not require downloading additional apps. Security experts advise job seekers to verify job offers through official channels and avoid sideloading apps. No financial losses have been reported yet, but the malware poses a significant risk to personal data security.
