It's critical to verify any request that asks you to send sensitive information or money. Hackers often create fake email accounts and try to convince employees (and even executives) to send confidential information or transfer money. Verify that requests are real and think before you send.

Criminals have become sophisticated about impersonating staff members to make urgent requests seem legitimate. For example, they’ve started linking wire scams to tax requirements, and using domestic accounts rather than more suspicious international accounts. Today, employees need to be more careful.

You could have your personal identity stolen. Slam dunk.
Be careful of how you handle sensitive documents, especially hard copies. Always shred hard copies of confidential documents when no longer needed. These could give fraudsters access to personal information.
