Yesterday the 8th of February the RecruitIreland.com website was compromised. It is believed spammers gained access to the database and compromised names and email addresses for the purposes of spamming.

The website is currently offline as it is not yet  determined how the attack happened. It is believed to be under investigation but in cases like this it is usually down to poor coding.

It is not yet known when the website will come back online.

If you are signed up with RecruitIreland.com you may receive emails similar to the one below which should be ignored. You may also want to think about changing your email password, as like many,  you may have used the same password for your email as you did on recruitireland.com
