Re: ahemMonster.com is pretty much useless. I can't remember the last time I found any good jobs on it. I deleted my account just a few weeks ago. | |

Why?Why on earth would you supply any personal information, other than what you have in your resume, to a firm online? If they want that information, they call you in for an interview and you fill out the requisite forms at that time.

Re: Why?said by n2jtx:Why on earth would you supply any personal information, other than what you have in your resume, to a firm online? If they want that information, they call you in for an interview and you fill out the requisite forms at that time. They don't have to. Once your PC is infected with the trojan, it captures ALL browser activity. Including those you have with banks, insurance companies, etc. The mere act of going to the bogus job ad site does the infecting. After that you are open to having all your online activity capturd and sent to the hacker. » www.informationweek.com/ ··· IWK_News"When a user views or clicks on one of the malicious ads, their PC is getting infected and all the information they are entering into their browser, including financial information being entered before it reaches the SSL-protected sites, is being captured and sent off to the hacker's server in Asia Pacific." You didn't read the linked story, did you? --

Re: Why?This issue has been going on for at least 6 months. I have been sent 3 or 4 phishing e-mails and notified them at least two times. Monster has some real security problems with there code on there site.

I have little sympathy for those who do not know enough to keep their systems up to date. The Trojan is designed to exploit several different software flaws, including vulnerabilities -- all of which have been patched by the vendors -- in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser, WinZip and Apple's QuickTime.

After investigation, the number of stolen records has now grown to 1.6 million. » www.computerworld.com/ac ··· _ts_headThe 46,000 people reportedly infected by ads on job sites may be only a fraction of the victims of an ambitious, multistage attack that has stolen data belonging to several hundred thousand people who posted resumes on Monster.com, a researcher said this weekend.
According to Symantec Corp. security analyst Amado Hidalgo, a new Trojan horse called Infostealer.Monstres by Symantec has stolen more than 1.6 million records belonging to several hundred thousand people from Monster Worldwide Inc.'s job search service. --

I wonderVery serious question - would AdBlock(plus?) have blocked this (these?) ads???
...Where are all the naysayers against ad blocking now???
IMHO, most of the reason for blocking ads is for EXACTLY this kind of reason - not totally to block out legit ads from people, but to kill the crappy ones... | |
