The Impostor Trick!
A recent trend among cybercriminals is to pose as employees and request an urgent change in a payroll direct deposit account. The impostor provides all the right information and the email or phone call seems legitimate. What should staff do?
- Don’t click on links or attachments unless the request and email address have been validated.
- Be aware that employees on Self-Service Time and Attendance can perform their own changes through the multi-factor authentication process.
- If you don’t personally know the employee making the request, work with HR to validate the identification credentials for that individual with information already on file.
