At Nile Bits, we place the utmost importance on the safety and security of our community. Recently, we encountered a significant issue involving a fraudulent individual misusing Hostinger’s services. An individual named Joseph Harry was posing as an HR Manager from Nile Bits, sending deceptive job offers using the email address [email protected]. The fraudulent domain nilebitscareers.com was hosted by Hostinger.

We previously alerted our community about this threat in a recent blog post, urging caution against these fraudulent activities.

Details of the Abuse:

• Fraudulent Domain: nilebitscareers.com
• Impersonator’s Email: [email protected]
• Legitimate Domain: nilebits.com (Our official company domain)
• Nature of Abuse: Sending fraudulent job offers, impersonation of a legitimate company (Nile Bits), and phishing attempts aimed at collecting personal information from unsuspecting individuals.

Evidence of Abuse:

• Copies of the fraudulent emails sent by [email protected].
• Complaints from several individuals who received these fraudulent job offers.
• Screenshots of the deceptive emails and any associated links.

This fraudulent activity not only tarnished the reputation of Nile Bits but also put individuals at risk of identity theft and other cybercrimes. Our primary concern was the safety and privacy of our community.

Requested Actions Taken by Hostinger:

We requested Hostinger to take the following actions to address this serious issue:

1. Immediate Suspension of the Domain: We asked for the immediate suspension of the domain nilebitscareers.com to prevent further abuse.
2. Investigation and Action: We requested a thorough investigation into the activities associated with this domain and appropriate action against the perpetrators.
3. Prevention of Future Abuse: We urged Hostinger to implement stricter monitoring and verification processes to prevent such fraudulent activities in the future.

Hostinger’s Response:

We are pleased to report that Hostinger responded swiftly and effectively to our complaint. They took immediate action to suspend the fraudulent domain and initiated an investigation into the matter. Their prompt attention to this urgent issue has been instrumental in mitigating the damage and protecting our community.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Hostinger for their quick response and proactive measures. Their commitment to addressing domain and email abuse helps create a safer online environment for everyone.
