Cybersecurity Advisory

from ALTA's Information Security Work Group

January 8, 2024

As we all continue to monitor the significant cybersecurity issues affecting our industry, we wanted to share how unified ALTA's Information Security Work Group is in identifying trends and supplying valuable information to ALTA members and the broader industry. 

Considering the most recent incidents, the work group urges everyone to use extreme caution when opening emails containing links, attachments or requests for personal information, such as security credentials or authentication codes. Given the nature of the cybersecurity attacks facing our industry, even emails from known sources including colleagues, clients, customers and consumers could potentially be compromised. Phone calls and text messages may also be suspect, so slow down and take every opportunity to verify the source.
