I was pretty excited to be contacted by someone calling himself “David Trump”, and the way he kept calling me “my lady” just made my heart melt... or my bile rise... or something!

Every second, somewhere on the internet, a brand is being impersonated. A customer is being deceived. And a business is losing more than just money; it’s losing trust. 

Imagine a fraudster impersonating your brand by using your logo, your colors, and your tone, keeping hawk’s eye on your customers. They camouflage themselves in your brand and your customers see the difference only when it is too late. 

The modern fraud ecosystem is growing more sophisticated. Fraudsters are sitting at every touchpoint including the ad your customers clicked on, the website they landed on, and the checkout they trusted. 

Let me start by being extremely clear, and I want every single one of you to hear this, whether you are operating out of a call center in a country I have never visited, sitting behind seventeen layers of VPN in some anonymous corner of the internet, or just winging it from your mom’s basement with a stolen profile picture and a dream. I am not joining your WhatsApp. I am not downloading Telegram…

If you’re looking into online brokers, our full review of NeoWaySolution Management Ltd is essential reading. On Brokers Reviewer we unpack everything you need to know before trusting your money with them. NeoWaySolution’s website is currently down — a big red flag. According to user reports, people who tried to withdraw money faced repeated demands for “tax” or extra deposits before funds could be released. That kind of demand is a hallmark of “advance fee” scams.

Our review highlights serious concerns: vague ownership information, no clear regulatory licence, and a history of complaints about failed withdrawals. Even though the site claims to offer trading or financial services, there’s no verifiable proof of legitimacy. That means your money could be at risk — and you may have no recourse to get it back.

We also warn about potential security risks: suspicious server setup, lack of transparency, and possible malware or data-privacy issues. These factors make NeoWaySolution unreliable and dangerous for anyone seeking safe investments or online trading.

At Brokers Reviewer, we believe in giving you honest, detailed, easy-to-understand information so you can make informed decisions. Don't let flashy promises or professional-looking websites fool you. Read our full NeoWaySolution review before depositing anything. Protect your money. Stay cautious.

Why CISOs Can’t Ignore What Employees Do on Their Personal Devices

We’ve all seen the texts:

“Hi! I’m a recruiter from a top company. Your profile looks amazing. We have a job that matches your skills. Click here to apply!”

It feels flattering — until it’s too late. These online job scams are no longer just stealing personal data — they’re now compromising corporate networks and endangering enterprise security.

From Job Offers to Network Breaches

A new Google security advisory warns that scammers are embedding remote access Trojans (RATs) and info-stealers inside fake job application forms or “interview software.”

Once downloaded, these malicious tools can:

Steal login credentials and authentication tokens

Give hackers persistent backdoor access to personal and corporate systems

Spread across networks when infected devices connect to corporate Wi-Fi

This is how a personal scam turns into an enterprise-level breach.

The Scope of the Problem

According to the Global Anti-Scam Alliance (2025):

57% of adults experienced an online scam last year.

23% lost money.

Now imagine a company with 5,000 employees — and more than 2,800 of them targeted by fake recruiter messages. Even if only 5% fall for it, that’s 142 potential entry points for hackers into your network.

That’s not a scam anymore — that’s an attack vector.

Why It’s Hard to Detect

Traditional security tools just don’t cover this threat.

EDR (Endpoint Detection & Response) doesn’t protect personal devices.

Network monitoring can’t spot malware until it’s already connected.

DLP (Data Loss Prevention) tools won’t flag employees sending personal info to fake recruiters.

And worse? Most victims don’t report these scams.

Eva Casey Velasquez, CEO of the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC), says many employees delay reporting for over 30 days, out of embarrassment or fear — especially if they were job hunting quietly while still employed.

The Real Cost of Silence

According to IBM’s Cost of a Data Breach Report 2025, a single RAT infection can lead to an average loss of $4.4 million.

That’s not counting the reputational and compliance fallout when the breach traces back to an employee’s infected laptop.

How Enterprises Can Fight Back

Cybercrime expert Brett Johnson recommends a layered response:

Make job-scam victimization reportable. Encourage openness — no shame, no punishment.

Extend endpoint protection. Any device that accesses company email must have verified protection.

Use behavioral analytics. Detect unusual data movement after credential use.

Enforce multi-factor authentication (MFA). Every login, every time.

Train smarter, not just harder. Include modules about personal device security in corporate training.

The New Reality

The line between personal and corporate cybersecurity has completely disappeared.

Your employee’s phone, laptop, or tablet could be the next entry point for a multimillion-dollar breach.

Online job scams aren’t just an HR issue anymore — they’re a cybersecurity crisis.
