Concept resourcing data base hacked

[Eirikur]

Received a scam email pretending to be from the NHS yesterday to get a Covid passport. It was quite convincing (and I know from Facebook some people fell for the scam and had to block their cards) but the link was not from the .NHS domain.

Today I received the below email from Concept resourcing:

We are aware that you may have received an email purporting to be from Concept Resourcing this morning regarding a COVID passport.

This email was not sent by our company, and we would strongly advise that you do not interact with the email. We understand that the page that the email links to has now been taken down but please be vigilant and do not engage with the email further.


We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused, please rest assured that our security and compliance team are investigating this and we appreciate you bearing with us while we look into this matter further.

Thank you,


Concept Resourcing

if you had any personal data registered with them it may now be in the hands of hackers

I'd be looking at the competence of the agency and their mailing technique first TBF. Plenty of stories of agencies using CC and not BCC or mailing the list of what their contractors on account are earning to all the contractors on that account.

They had quite a large CV database and yes the email was entirely convincing. I did click on it out of curiosity but didnt have time to fill-in the form.

I had the same email, I'll add it to the list of hackers who have my details recently....the other 'hack' I fell victim to has slightly more serious consequences.
