Traverse City, Mich.-based Munson Healthcare is warning people about the hoax, in which the scammers also send out fake checks for the victims to purchase their own equipment, according to a Dec. 6 security alert.

The eight-hospital system says the only legitimate way to apply for a job there is at munsonhealthcare.org/careers, all employment-related communications will take place through official email addresses ending in mhc.net, and Munson Healthcare provides equipment for remote employees and never asks for financial information or payments during the application process.

Besides posing as HR leaders, hackers have also been pretending to be hospital revenue cycle employees to trick IT staff into giving up login credentials.
