A September 24, 2026 bulletin warns that fake consultancy offers can probe professionals and seek non-public information or abuse of trusted access.
Published on September 24, 2026, this Threat Source bulletin describes a social engineering attempt disguised as a consultancy: a sparse profile offered US$300 for an hour-long conversation about digital transformation. The warning explains that the call could assess a professional’s access and knowledge before requesting reports containing non-public information or tasks involving colleagues and internal systems. It also mentions fake job offers that try to persuade candidates to install trojanized software.
The central message is not to mistake flattery, attractive payment, or a career opportunity for legitimacy, and not to use workplace access or relationships to fulfill suspicious requests. The bulletin also says Talos launched CAIRN, but the supplied excerpt ends before describing the toolkit.
