Security Bulletin
Find out why your personal information is safe on SnagAJob.com
Recently, you might have heard or read in the news about the security problems experienced by another well known online job board that was targeted by hackers. Hackers infiltrated the board and uploaded personal information about the board's users. The hackers then used this personal information to send emails to some users in an attempt to obtain even more personal and financial data from those users.
SnagAJob.com takes the threat of hacking very seriously. Even before this incident occurred, we had gone to great lengths to ensure that all of your personal information is safe and secure. And because our services are free and we don't require you to submit any financial information to us, no hacker can obtain your financial information from our website.
SnagAJob.com will never send you an email or other communication asking for your personal information. If you ever receive an email or other communication requesting personal information from you that looks like it came from us, do not respond to it and contact us immediately by email or call us toll free at 1-877-461-7624.
