Beware of fake Indeed interview apps used to install spyware
Brief
From several independent reports, we’ve seen evidence of scammers using fake Android “interview” apps to target job seekers on the Indeed platform.
Indeed is one of the world’s largest employment websites, giving scammers access to a huge pool of potential victims, especially in a competitive job market.
What we found
A user in the UK posted on our forums after being instructed by a supposed employer on Indeed to install an “Interview App.”
A user in Brasil submitted an anonymized report after receiving similar instructions to install an APK named MyInterview from a link shared during a job interview.
Meanwhile, Reddit users discussed a “Indeed Interview” app that allegedly completely compromised one user’s phone.
The victim who installed the MyInterview APK said their phone began closing apps by itself after installation.
