Dear UUP Members.
It was brought to our attention that two SUNY campuses have had issues of direct deposit fraud. Hackers accessed the employee email account and NYS ID number in order to send direct deposit change forms to the payroll office requesting the deposit go to a different bank account. Employees should consider changing passwords and checking their direct deposit accounts each payday.
OSC will be issuing additional guidance to state agencies. In the meantime, we are asking that you work with your campus administration to send a message to members informing them if your campus has been affected and letting them know that UUP chapter leadership is working with administration to make sure members stay informed.
Thank you,
Kevin
UUP Stony Brook Center Chapter President
