General tips to avoid phishing issues**

What is a phishing attack?

• Generally, phishing attacks may look like they’re from a company you know or trust, like UHA. It may even prompt you to open an attachment or click on a link. However, pay close attention to who the email is coming from. UHA will only send official communications through mail or email. Emails coming from UHA will only come from uhahealth.com. When looking at an email from UHA please take a few moments to check that the email address is accurate. 

How might phishing attacks affect my business?

• Cyber thieves send thousands of phishing attempts a day to try and gain access to your email, bank, or other accounts. Please note that UHA will never initiate EFT set up. In order to set up EFT, employers must contact UHA first to begin the setup process.
• Your own email spam filters may keep out most phishing emails from your inbox. You also may wish to consider additional layers of protection. Please refer to The Federal Trade Commission’s website for more information.
