Re: Unemployment Fraud

["Kimmitt, Jonathan" <jonathan-kimmitt () UTULSA EDU>]

We have seen them as well...  We have given the link to the fraud reporting website for our state employment security 
commission on our HR website that talks about the furloughs.....

Its just speculation, but it seems to be possibly related to people who have had some form of identity theft, 
specifically with taxes, in the past.....  I certainly don't have any numbers to back that up, but it makes sense.

Subject: [<External>][SECURITY] Unemployment Fraud

Hello,

I wanted to check to see if anyone is getting a flood of fraudulent unemployment claims.  We have gotten as many as 25 
a day.  If so, do you have any ideas of how to stem this tide?  I have advised our HR department to have victims lock 
their credit, but I don't really know how to stop the problem.  I suspect most of the victims have their personal 
information available on the dark web.

Sincerely,

Beth Albertson, CISSP(r), PMP(r)
