In a recent article, “thirteen faculty and staff members at Illinois State University were the apparent victims of an information breach that allowed someone to divert their direct-deposit payroll payments to another account, according to university officials.” Similar attacks have been made against universities and have “involved people filing fraudulent tax returns using the information they obtained to divert tax refunds.”

So, anyone thinking that they aren’t a target just because they don’t have access to important information should realize that attackers are indeed after “you” to make a quick buck!
