Hi there, Just wanted to drop a word of warning and let folks know it appears that spammers may be using dice.com as a new attack vector for identity theft.
3 days ago I created a new account at dice and started submitting my resume to companies at dice that appeared to be offering positions of interest to me. I submitted my resume to only 15 companies all of which appeared to head hunting firms. Of those I got back 12 responses which were legitimate, however I now have over 370 "offers" written in poorly worded engrish, which appear to be using keywords taken specifically from my resume. These are all inviting me to go to various sites which appear to be phishing sites (irrelvant or jibberesh subdomains, or just straight up IP addresses) and "apply for good job today!", obviously asking me for personal details such as name, social security number etc. So anyways I'm not dumb enough to fall for it and I doubt anyone else reading this is either, but please excersize caution. Make sure to call ANY company you submit a resume to and of course take all the other normal, id theft precautions (leave off personal details from resumes etc). I hope this helps someone. Sincerely, Steve /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
