We received a warning about this sort of scam from Kentucky Homeland Security just this morning. The attack seems to be 
targeting government and edu sectors.

As an FYI, I have had three reports of fake Direct Deposit requests. Two of them included completed forms. The forms 
included the victims correct address and social. Both would have redirected full paychecks to American Express National 
Bank in Salt Lake City. Attached is an image of the electronic check. Given the size of the Equifax breach and the loss 
of the pertinent info, we cannot be the only institution seeing this.
