Alerting editors to scam LiteBlue links
Hi there, this is Jonathan from the Postal Service. I want to alert editors to the fact that several anonymous IP editors have persistently tried to add scam LiteBlue links to the article over the past couple months. I'll cite a few examples, with diff links: ex 1, ex 2, and ex 3.
LiteBlue is the portal that USPS workers use to monitor and manage their career and benefits. It contains, among other things, sensitive payroll information, and probably doesn't belong on the USPS page at all.
The link to the real site is here: https://liteblue.usps.gov/wps/portal. The links in the edits cited above, all of which have since been reverted, have slightly different URLs and take the user to a fake LiteBlue landing page that tries to scam them out of their login credentials. In other words, it's a phishing scheme.
The American Postal Workers' Union put out a bulletin in early January alerting its members of this scheme. Apparently it has since grown to include Wikipedia. I'm not suggesting that this article be put under protection. I just want to flag the issue and advise editors to double-check any edits that include LiteBlue links, because there's a good chance they're fraudulent.
Tagging in a few editors whom I've noticed tend to keep a close eye on the USPS article: DN, User:Ww2censor, and User:Coolcaesar.
Thanks for your help! Jonathan with U.S. Postal Service (talk) 21:58, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
