SAA E-mail Phishing Scam

"We would like to advise you that there is currently a phishing scam underway which, amongst other companies, targets our customers as a way of getting to your Voyager log-in details, as well as personal information.

The scam involves e-mails with the subject given as: PASSENGER ITINERARY RECEIPT, "thanking" customers for their purchase, stating that their booking is confirmed, giving a booking reference number, as well as the credit card charge and then asking the customer to follow a link.

Please be advised that these e-mails are NOT from South African Airways (SAA), or our Customer Care department as is wrongfully stated in the e-mail. SAA advises you to immediately delete such an e-mail and not enter any personal information. No matter how authentic such e-mails may seem, any e-mail supposedly from the airline that has a link to the Voyager log-in page, is not from SAA.

In addition, please do not click on such a link, as it will take you to a fraudulent website where your Voyager log-in and your PIN may be compromised.

If you have transacted via the SAA website using your Voyager log-in details during the last 72 hours and are unsure of the legitimacy of the transaction, please contact our call centre on +27 11 978 1234 during office hours (07h00- 21h00) to reset your selected Voyager PIN."

Here's some news for the numerous people who contact us about airline jobs - BA has launched a pilot recruitment program via Youtube.

"The best way to protect sensitive information contained on a laptop or mobile device is to avoid exposing it to potentially compromising situations. The computer should only contain information specific to the current trip and, when possible, should not contain account numbers, passwords or other sensitive information. Then, should the device be compromised, the executive can take some comfort in knowing that not all of the company’s sensitive information has leaked out. When traveling, it is best to replace the regular computer or hard drive with a clean one. This helps protect the data abroad and avoid compromise when the trip ends." Stratfor
