By: FEDweek StaffThe Postal Service and its unions have warned employees there of identity theft from websites spoofing its employee benefits portal, LiteBlue, resulting in the USPS boosting security protections for that site.
“When employees log into LiteBlue, they will be required to reset their Self-Service Profile (SSP) password, verify the last four digits of their Social Security Number (SSN), and set up their multifactor authentication preferences,” says a “mandatory stand-up talk” distributed through the postal system.
It further recommended that users type the url (www.liteblue.usps.gov) directly into a browser rather than perform a search.
Although that message refers only to “a threat to postal employees by creating fake websites that closely resemble LiteBlue,” the National Association of Letter Carriers said that “Unfortunately, some postal employees have fallen victim to these fraudulent websites. Many employees had their entire paychecks rerouted to the criminals’ bank accounts, instead of being deposited into their own.”
“These websites did this by appearing in popular search engines with similar names and web addresses to LiteBlue,” it said, advising that its members set up the new security controls on their accounts “as soon as possible.”
The American Postal Workers Union provided a similar message and added that it is “continuing to advocate for members who have had had their wages stolen in the recent online fraud attack on USPS systems.”
