At Sterling, we believe everyone has the right to feel safe. We continuously monitor for cyber threats and other vulnerabilities to provide the foundation of safety and trust you need to hire with confidence.
As part of our security monitoring program, we recently became aware of a potential email-based spear-phishing attack using an email address that appears to be from a known or trusted sender at Sterling. We believe that a malicious actor may be trying to impersonate Sterling personnel to divert payments away from Sterling.
To protect against this threat, please ensure that you scrutinize any email purporting to be from Sterling asking you to change banking details. If you receive an email asking to change payment information, always confirm the request with a trusted Sterling source before making any changes.
How to report phishing
If you question the validity of a message that appears to be from us, please contact your dedicated Sterling Client Success representative or Client Support.
How to recognize phishing
If you receive an email from Sterling, please ensure that it is coming from Sterling’s authorized email domain such as sterlingcheck.com, sterlingts.com, talentwise.com, sterlingcheck.app and sterlingdirect.com. If there’s any variation such as sterllngcheck.com, Sterlingdirect[.]co, Sterlingdirect[.]cm, Sterling-direct[.]com, Sterlingdirect[.]net, please be aware that these do not belong to us.
While we can’t prevent all activities that may occur using fraudulent addresses, we can minimize risk together. Thank you in advance for your partnership, and most importantly, your continued trust in Sterling.
