Phishermen need not apply

I feel bad for the job seekers who were victimized after posting their resumes and personal data on the Monster.com jobs website.  Apparently, recruiters who were looking for job candidates via Monster were the first to be targeted. The personal information (including passwords, address, phone number, etc.) those recruiters had received from job seekers was grabbed by the hackers.  The hackers then sent e-mails to the job seekers whose suspicions weren't aroused due to the fact that the messages they received seemed a legitimate response to information they'd voluntarily posted with Monster. I suppose the only recourse to job seekers is to provide only the absolute minimum data and then flesh out more detailed information only when they determine that any response they receive is legitimate. This USA Today article points out what I've always put forward - the same care should be taken here that is used when using/joining social networking sites like Facebook - avoid too much revelatory information.
