Over the past few weeks, a number of University employees received emails with embedded website links to fraudulent websites asking for the entry of Firefly credentials. Some individuals were duped into responding to these requests and revealed their credentials. The cyber criminals used that information to log into to compromised Firefly accounts and change banking information for those employees.
Firefly banking information governs the direct deposit of:
• Paycheck
• Travel reimbursements
• Flexible Spending Account funds from WageWorks
This is no longer an advisory about good online behavior; it is real and it is here now!
If you have any suspicion that you may have inappropriately responded to such an email or that your credentials may have been compromised, please contact ITS Security at security@unl.edu immediately.
Reminder: Emails generated by the University Firefly portal will NOT include links to websites that require credentials.
