NOTICE
Dear Employees,
Concerning the incident over a few employees being tricked to give money when a fraudulent individual pretended to be someone highly esteemed from our company, we thought that this should serve as an important wake-up call to all of us concerning the ubiquity of cybercrime and the need to stay vigilant.
Key Takeaways:
- Identity verification — Keep in mind that the most crucial time to be vigilant with requests for transactions or sensitive information happens when someone requests them and it’s under urgent circumstances or from an unidentifiable location. Check email addresses, phone numbers, and any other contact that works.
- Be Caution of the Urgency: Scammers try to create a sense of emergency in order to dupe you into doing something before you think. Pause and verify if you get curious requests whenever they feel a bit off.
- Never Share Secrets Like Passwords, Financials — Sensitive information like passwords, account numbers, etc, shouldn’t be shared over email, phone, or even over unsecure mediums.
- Phishing: Senders of phishing emails and messages copy-paste content that looks legitimate. Look for clear signs of suspicious links, mistakes in headlines and greeting cards.
- Request verifications directly: When you receive an official request from any senior person, contact them directly using well-known and trusted communication channels (such as a direct phone call or in-person discussion).
- Report suspicious activities: Contact the IT department immediately and your supervisor if you observe anything unusual.
- Keep Up with the Times: Study and know about the latest corporate security guidelines.
Details to take action.
- If you get an email or message asking you to send money or personal information — for example, a recipient requesting a wire transfer—please independently check their identity through another type of communication.
- If a phone call comes asking for the same information just politely tell the caller you will call them back using the official number for the company.
- Never click on links or attachments from unknown senders.
- If you are not sure about the email, then kindly forward it to IT for their review.
