The Postal Service is reminding employees and contractors to immediately report suspicious computer activity.
Employees and contractors are often the first to notice when a cybersecurity incident is happening when they receive a suspicious email or unexpected multifactor authentication request.
If you notice something suspicious, here’s what to do:
• Don’t click on links, open attachments, respond to suspicious messages or continue entering information on that page or site.
• Don’t do anything that could interfere with a cybersecurity investigation.
• Report the suspicious activity immediately.
• Provide relevant details, such as when you first noticed the activity, to USPS cybersecurity professionals to aid them in their investigation.
Suspicious activity can sometimes appear to be a minor or isolated event. Reporting these incidents quickly allows the organization to work to contain potential threats to USPS information, systems and operations.
The Report to CyberSafe Blue page has instructions for reporting cyber incidents.
