From direct deposit scams to fraudulent PDF files, there has been a shocking rise in these email phishing scams. Indeed, Microsoft\u2019s Security team reports that these malicious phishing emails have increased by a whopping 250 percent.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do employers and employees need to know in order to protect themselves from these scams?<\/p>\n<p>First, it\u2019s crucial that you educate everyone on your team about phishing scams and how to make safer choices online.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to understand that it is not enough to simply be aware and cautious when it comes to your own online behavior,\u201d says Rob Wilson, President of Employco USA and human resources expert. \u201cYour entire company can be negatively impacted across the board if just one employee gives up access to your Office 365 account or similar program. Once the phisher has that foothold, they have access to an entire wealth of information, and they can then use this position of power to gain access to more info and phish other people on your team.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Second, talk to your human resources and payroll team about how they should never make changes to an employee\u2019s direct deposit paycheck or other benefits without every appropriate form being submitted and verifying the person\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDirect deposit scams are on the rise because it is so easy for a person to find the email addresses of H.R. personnel and other pertinent employee information,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cThen, the phisher can send an email asking for their paycheck to be deposited into a new account\u2014and by the time the scam is discovered, the money is long gone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To this end, Wilson also suggests using caution when it comes to making your employees and their job positions too transparent on the company website, but especially on LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake sure your employees and managers understand that LinkedIn isn\u2019t a \u2018safe\u2019 site just because it appears professional,\u201d says Wilson. \u201cPhishers can attack LinkedIn users the same way they can \u2018catfish\u2019 users of dating websites. It may be a website for professionals but that doesn\u2019t mean that every email or message is safe to open or click through, especially if you have no clue who the individual is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more on this topic, please contact Rob Wilson at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com\">rwilson@thewilsoncompanies.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phishing crimes are on the rise \u2013 here is what employers need to know Phishing scams cost the United States half a billion dollars each year.
