U.S. Department of Homeland Security US-CERT National Cyber Awareness System: FBI Releases Article on Defending Against Payroll Phishing Scams [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/current-activity/2018/10/16/FBI-Releases-Article-Defending-Against-Payroll-Phishing-Scams ] 10/16/2018 07:14 PM EDT Original release date: October 16, 2018 The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has released an article on building a digital defense against phishing scams targeting electronically deposited paychecks. In these schemes, scammers use phishing emails to direct employees to fraudulent websites and collect their work credentials. Scammers then use victims credentials to replace legitimate direct deposit information with their own account details. NCCIC encourages users to review the FBI Article [ https://www.fbi.gov/contact-us/field-offices/portland/news/press-releases/oregon-fbi-tech-tuesday-building-a-digital-defense-against-payroll-phishing-scams ] and NCCIC Tip on Avoiding Social Engineering and Phishing Attacks [ https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/tips/ST04-014 ] for more information.
