247Hire

In July 2022 the recruitment platform 247Hire experienced a significant data security incident. The breach resulted in the exposure of sensitive information belonging to approximately 50000 individuals. The leaked data contained professional details including candidate resumes and visa statuses. This incident occurred when an offshore helper service associated with the platform suffered a compromise allowing unauthorized access to its database and document storage systems. The exposure of resumes and visa information presents a targeted risk for phishing and identity theft within the recruitment sector.
