hiring-adobe.us is a phishing site that impersonates Adobe. Its name frames it as a recruitment portal, so it targets job seekers who believe they are applying for a position or completing onboarding with the company. PhishDestroy first flagged it on 2026-08-31. As of 2026-10-19 the domain was still live and redirecting visitors, so it remains an active lure.
How the scam works
The page title displays Adobe's own official web address, so a visitor glancing at the browser tab sees what looks like the genuine company site rather than a lookalike domain. Fake hiring pages of this kind usually ask applicants to sign in with an Adobe or email account, or to submit identity documents, contact details and banking information for "payroll setup." Some schemes follow up by demanding fees or equipment purchases to finalise the job. The victim can lose account access, personal data that enables identity fraud, and any money sent to the supposed recruiter.
Evidence
When checked on 2026-09-14, six of 89 VirusTotal engines flagged the domain: alphaMountain.ai, Chong Lua Dao, CRDF, Forcepoint ThreatSeeker, Gridinsoft and SOCRadar. That is a modest count, so many browsers and filters may not warn visitors on their own. The domain is also listed on the PhishDestroy, MetaMask and SEAL blocklists. It appears in four AlienVault OTX threat pulses, which shows other researchers have tracked it independently.
Infrastructure
The domain was registered through Dynadot Inc on 2026-07-21, 41 days before PhishDestroy detected it. That short gap fits the pattern of a disposable phishing domain set up for a single campaign. Traffic runs through Cloudflare's network, geolocated to Canada, which hides the server actually serving the content. The HTTPS padlock comes from a Google Trust Services certificate, so a secure connection says nothing about whether the site is legitimate.
What to do
If you entered an Adobe or email password here, change it immediately, sign out of all active sessions and turn on two-factor authentication. Do the same for every other account where you reused that password. If you shared identity documents, a tax number or bank details, contact your bank, consider a credit freeze or fraud alert, and send no payments to the "recruiter." Genuine Adobe vacancies are published only through the company's official careers channels. Defenders should block the domain at DNS and email gateways and flag recruitment messages that reference it.

Availability, content, DNS and registration are independent evidence layers. NXDOMAIN, an unreachable origin or missing content alone does not prove registrar action. A registrar or provider is credited only when a direct technical marker identifies that actor. Report causality is shown separately.
