USPS, Unions Warn Postal Employees of Spoof Benefits Sites

The 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.
