Beware of LiteBlue Fraudsters
LiteBlue is a critical online portal for United States Postal Service (USPS) employees, providing access to essential information and services. Unfortunately, cybercriminals have recognized the value of this platform and have been increasingly targeting USPS employees with fraudulent schemes.
How Fraudsters Operate
These malicious actors create fake websites that closely mimic the official LiteBlue platform. The goal is to deceive employees into entering their login credentials, allowing fraudsters to steal sensitive personal and financial information.

Tactics Used by Fraudsters
- Phishing Emails: Fraudsters often send emails disguised as official USPS communications, urging employees to click on malicious links or download attachments.
- Fake Websites: They create websites that look identical to the genuine LiteBlue platform to trick users into entering their login credentials.
- Social Engineering: Fraudsters may attempt to gain trust by posing as USPS officials or colleagues to obtain sensitive information.
How to Protect Yourself
- Verify the Website: Always double-check the URL before entering any login information. The official LiteBlue website is liteblue.usps.gov.
- Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links: Be wary of unsolicited emails or messages containing links or attachments.
- Strong Passwords: Create complex and unique passwords for your LiteBlue account and avoid reusing passwords across different platforms.
- Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA): This adds an extra layer of security by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent to your phone.
- Regularly Monitor Your Account: Check your account for any unusual activity and report suspicious transactions immediately.
- Beware of Public Wi-Fi: Avoid accessing sensitive information on public Wi-Fi networks.
What to Do If You Suspect Fraud
If you believe you may have been a victim of a LiteBlue scam, contact the USPS Cybersecurity Operations Center immediately at:
- Email: cybersafe@usps.gov
- Phone: 866-877-7247
By following these precautions and staying vigilant, you can significantly reduce your risk of falling victim to LiteBlue fraudsters.
Remember, the USPS will never ask for your personal information via email or phone. If you receive a suspicious request, treat it as a potential scam and take appropriate action.
