Exasol Scam Alert: Beware of Fake Recruitment Emails, April 2026

At Exasol, keeping our candidates safe is something we take seriously, and that means being transparent when something isn’t right.

We are currently aware of an active phishing campaign where scammers are impersonating Exasol to target job seekers. They have set up a fake website designed to look like it belongs to us, with the goal of collecting personal login credentials from unsuspecting applicants. If you have received an unsolicited recruitment email that directed you to a site outside of exasol.com, please do not click any links or enter any information. It is not us.

We are already working to have the fraudulent site taken down. Unfortunately this is not the first time we have faced this kind of attack. If you’d like to understand the full picture, you can read our previous alerts here: Exasol Scam Alert | June 2024 and Exasol Scam Alert | November 2023.

This campaign is targeted at job seekers only and has no impact on Exasol’s products, services, or customer data.

Here is what you need to know about how Exasol recruits:

• All open roles are posted at careers.exasol.com, this is the only place we advertise roles
• We will always communicate from an @exasol.com email address, any other domain is not us
• We will never ask you to pay money, transfer funds, or make any kind of purchase at any stage
• We do not offer paid tasks, consulting arrangements, or the ability to earn money via tasks as part of recruitment
• Every candidate goes through a proper interview process, you will always speak with an Exasolian before any offer is made
• If you are asked to use an app or site outside the exasol.com domain, it is not legitimate
• If you have already shared personal or financial information with a fraudulent site, change your passwords immediately and contact your bank and local authorities

We are grateful to everyone in our community who helps flag this kind of activity. It makes a real difference.

Update (April 2026):

Through proactive monitoring and rapid response measures, we identified this phishing activity early and acted immediately. The fraudulent website associated with this scam has now been successfully taken down. We continue to monitor the situation closely and remain committed to protecting our community from cyber threats.
