Hot Take:

Well, well, well, now Corsair is not just a brand for your gaming gear, but also a bait for a new cybercrime trend. I mean, who wouldn't want to work for Corsair, right? The Vietnamese cybercriminal gang surely knows how to lure in potential victims. Let's be honest, though, if you're tricked by a LinkedIn job offer, are you really cut out for a job at Corsair? Just saying! We've got DarkGate and RedLine malware in the mix, and it seems like these digital miscreants are on a mission to steal your Facebook business accounts. It's like a twisted version of LinkedIn's job marketplace with a sprinkle of Vietnamese spice, a dash of malware, and a pinch of identity theft on top. Bon appétit!
