In response to the recent increase in teleworking during the COVID-19 pandemic, cyber criminals are targeting teleworking employees with fraudulent termination phishing email and video conferencing meeting invites. Employees who are alarmed may not look at the sending email address and see that it does not come from Cooper. The emails entice victims to click on malicious links pretending to provide more information or online conferences pertaining to the victim\u2019s termination or severance packages.<\/p>\n

In one instance, the FBI learned employees from a data security company received fraudulent emails that stated the company was terminating the recipient\u2019s employment. The message contained subject lines such as, \u201cTermination Review Meeting.\u201d The email cites the COVID-19 pandemic as the reason for downsizing, provides instructions on how to process out of the company, and directs the employee to click a \u201chotlink\u201d to receive termination benefits. Employees that clicked on the link received a black screen.<\/p>\n

In a second instance, the FBI determined attackers sent meeting notifications asking recipients to join a video conference about their purported terminations. The email contained fake video conference invitations such as \u201cJoin this Live Meeting.\u201d The employees who fell victim to this attack had login credentials compromised.<\/p>\n

Should you receive a \u201ctermination\u201d email purportedly coming from Cooper, please do not<\/u><\/strong> click any links in the email. Cooper HR and management will never send an email informing you of your termination. Please immediately contact the Help Desk, forward the email to spam-alert@cooperhealth.edu<\/a>,<\/u> and then delete the email from your inbox.<\/p>\n
