Quote:The US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) in collaboration with the Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) issued a public service announcement detailing a new phishing campaign targeting the online payrolls of US employees.

"The IC3 has received complaints reporting cybercriminals are targeting the online payroll accounts of employees in a variety of industries," says the report. "Institutions most affected are education, healthcare, and commercial airway transportation. "
