Secure Your Email: Enable MFA Today

We’ve seen a sharp increase in compromised email inboxes, with fraudsters gaining access to carrier email accounts and impersonating dispatchers to steal loads, payments, or sensitive data. These attacks can happen without warning—and without Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), they’re often successful.

Bad actors are often able to gain access to email inboxes through phishing schemes. A phishing scheme is an attempt to steal personal information by impersonating a trusted third-party. A bad actor will send an email with a “from” email address very similar to a trusted third-party’s email address and with email content very similar to the trusted third-party’s typical email content. Unsuspecting recipients click on the link in the email and are redirected to the bad actor’s website, which imitates the third-party’s website. Victims enter login credentials into the counterfeit website, and at that point, their login credentials are compromised often without their knowledge. Bad actors will access email inboxes and wait until valuable information is transmitted.

Enabling MFA is one of the most effective ways to prevent unauthorized access. It adds an extra layer of protection beyond your password and stops most fraud attempts in their tracks.
