7,833 Records Leaked in the UrJobMart India Recruitment Breach

HEROIC discovered 7,833 records in UrJobMart on January 15, 2025, leaking email addresses, phone numbers, first names, and last names pulled from the Indian job recruitment platform's candidate database.

Why This UrJobMart Database Breach Is Dangerous

Job seekers are primed for urgent, convincing scams. A fake recruiter message or offer letter lands far more effectively when the attacker already knows the candidate's full name, email, and phone number, which is exactly what this leak provides.

What Was Exposed in UrJobMart

• Email addresses tied to active UrJobMart candidate accounts
• Phone numbers usable for fake recruiter calls and SMS scams
• First and last names, fueling highly personalized lures

Why This Matters

India's job market is a prime target for advance-fee fraud, deposit scams, and fake offshore recruitment rings. Every UrJobMart record in this leak gives scammers the credibility they need to extract upfront payments and additional personal data from applicants.

How Recruitment Platform Database Breaches Happen

Recruitment sites often expose APIs for resume upload, employer search, and candidate listing. Attackers scan for misconfigured endpoints, weak authentication, or SQL injection flaws, dump the candidate table, and sell it on South Asian cybercrime forums where it is paired with other leaks for fraud operations.

Check If You Are Affected

HEROIC scans more than 400 billion compromised records across the surface, deep, and dark web. Run your email through the HEROIC exposure scanner to see if your UrJobMart profile was leaked, then stay alert to recruitment scams referencing real job details.
