US-CERT Reports Increase in Phishing Schemes Pretending To Be From OPM

Email phishing campaigns appearing to be from the Office of Personnel Management and the identity protection firm CSID increased after last month's announcement that OPM suffered breaches, said the U.S. Computer Emergency Readiness Team (U.S.-CERT) in an alert Tuesday. “For those affected by the recent data breach, the legitimate domain used for accessing identity protection services is https://opm.csid.com.” Users should visit the OPM website for more information and report suspicious emails to U.S.-CERT, it said.
