What should I Verify?

Part of strong cybersecurity internal controls at state agencies is to always Verify requests to change data like bank routing numbers or direct deposit information are legitimate. This will prevent imposters from stealing public funds. 

Action Steps

Always Verify major changes, like bank account changes and other personal information, directly with the requester by Zoom, Teams or FaceTime.   

Consult with your supervisor or manager if you are unable to personally Verify any important requested changes, such as large dollar invoices, employee or vendor bank accounts, addresses, or other personal information.
