Boss too tough? Salary too low? If you're after a new gig, look no further 💼
We’re tracking a recruitment‑themed phishing campaign that opens with hope of a career upgrade and ends in stolen credentials.
Victims are targeted through emails spammed out by “recruiters” impersonating real people — LinkedIn profiles copied in full, including photos and current recruiter identities. The lure leans on exciting big‑name brands including FIFA, UEFA, Nike and Spotify to anchor legitimacy before prompting victims to schedule an interview using a bogus Calendly page 👔 💫
About time they noticed your stellar performance, right? But this interview comes with a catch 🎣 To seal the deal, you'll need to log in with your company email.
The mechanics:
• Initial outreach primes the role and rapport with some feel-good shmoozing
• Link to schedule your interview lands on a cloned Calendly recruitment portal
• Follow‑on contact nudges the victim through staged redirects
• Your credentials submit their 30-day notice ⚠️
Behind the scenes:
• Convincing lookalike domains generated at scale (RDGAs), rotated aggressively
• Layered redirect chains to blur origin and intent
• Compromised or fraudulently obtained Salesforce Marketing Cloud used for delivery, helping mails sail past controls
• Lure pages clone the Pinpoint ATS — attribution supported by Pinpoint’s own Cloudinary account ID (pinpointhq) embedded in assets
• Domain validation logic limits logins to business email providers, excluding free webmail services
Sad to say, the only thing getting “shortlisted” here is your inbox for another round of credential theft.

These campaigns remain active, with the actor spinning up new lures impersonating other major brands. We regret to inform you, it seems they'll be moving forward with other candidates 😩
Better luck next time.
