More employee W-2 data breaches reported (update1)

Posted on March 4, 2016 by Dissent

Add AmeriPride and Actifio to the ever-growing list of companies whose employees’ W-2 info was snagged by criminals via phishing.

If your company didn’t urgently re-train employees about this growing problem with phishing and business email compromises, do it now.

Update 1: Add Evening Post Industries to the list of those whose employees fell for business email compromise, resulting in employees’ W-2 data in criminals’ hands.
