Hackers Recruit Women for Voice Scams Targeting IT
3 Mar
Summary
- Group offers $500-$1,000 per call for social engineering success.
- Recruitment targets women to improve IT help desk deception tactics.
- Goal is to trick IT staff into revealing corporate login credentials.
The hacker group SLSH, also known as Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters, has reportedly initiated a recruitment drive seeking female voices to enhance its social engineering tactics. Applicants are offered payments ranging from $500 to $1,000 per successful call, with compensation dependent on performance.
Those recruited must pass screening and follow a prepared script. The primary aim is to manipulate IT help desk personnel into revealing corporate login credentials, a method aligning with SLSH's known strategies of compromising internal support systems. Experts note this targeted recruitment could bypass existing security protocols trained to detect traditional attacker profiles.
This initiative marks an evolution from SLSH's prior recruitment efforts. In October 2025, the group offered Bitcoin for the harassment of company executives to extort organizations. The current focus on paid voice impersonation suggests a growing reliance on outsourced participants and human manipulation, mirroring a broader trend in cybercrime.
