Fraudulent Websites are All Around Us

Fraudulent websites continue to pose a threat to cybersecurity as cybercriminals try to trick us into clicking on the malicious websites they create.

Www[.]liteblue-secure[.]com is an example of a fake website that is a close copy of the legitimate website, liteblue.usps.gov/wps/myportal.

USPS^® recommends the following tips when accessing websites:

Do:

n Type website addresses directly into the address bar and bookmark them as a favorite.

n Double-check that you are on the correct website by carefully reviewing the website address.

n Stop and think before providing personal information and interacting with websites.

n Report suspicious activity to the Cybersecurity Operations Center by emailing cybersafe@usps.gov or calling 866-877-7247.

Don’t:

n Assume that online browsers like Google and Yahoo always navigate to real and safe websites.

n Click on suspicious email links or attachments.

n Answer unsolicited texts or calls from unknown numbers.

n Share your employee identification number, password, or multifactor authentication codes with anyone.
