Potential Phishing Danger Alert: MyPay DFAS LES A third-party smartphone app named "MyPay DFAS LES" is being advertised to connect to DFAS on your behalf to access your MyPay account. This app is not sponsored by the Department of Defense (DOD) or the U.S. Government. It presents a serious risk of compromising account information and theft of funds. While giving your MyPay account information to strangers is never considered a good idea, the app presents itself as an official DFAS service and 50,000 members are estimated to have installed the app. Similar apps have been found for Android and iPhone. Do not download this app or provide any PII/Privacy information to unknown or unconfirmed sources. Participation Encouraged in SAPR Survey The 2013 Navywide sexual assault survey is short and completely anonymous. It can be accessed from any web-enabled computer, tablet or smartphone at www.donsapro.navy.mil/donsas.html . The password for all military participants is “2013SURVEY”, and the survey will be available through Jan. 6. Fall/Winter Safety Stand Down Fall/Winter Safety Stand Downs for area commands have begun and will continue through Nov. 18.

Cyber Alert/Social Engineering Attempts Against Navy Networks and Personnel Navy Cyber Defense Operations command directs all personnel to be mindful of OPSEC practices when engaging with individuals not permanently attached to their command whether that be electronically, telephonically, or in person. Adhering to strict procedures for the disclosure of network access and its components will decrease the likelihood of accidental loss of materials and network infiltration. NMCI and IT21 Help Desk personnel do not make unsolicited phone calls or use remote desktop websites to help users with computer issues. If you receive a phone call like this, hang up immediately and report the incident to your command Information Assurance Manager (IAM). TRIPS Software Requirement for Traveling Sailors TRIPS, a software program that assists Sailors in planning road trips, is required to be used by all active duty. All Navy users should now access TRIPS directly by visiting https://trips.safety.army.mil/navy/login.aspx. Sailors who previously accessed TRIPS through NKO should click the “Forgot your Password” link on the login screen. At the next screen, enter your current military email address and click on “submit.” An email will be sent to that address with a link so that you can enter a new password. Once this new password is established, users can then login to TRIPS at the above link from any computer.
