PayActiv Getting Earned Wages into the Hands of Workers Immediately PayActiv Offering Free Access to Earned Wages on Demand

The coronavirus crisis has upended daily life for millions of Americans, and over 82% of workers say that they are more worried about financial issues than their health. More than half of American workers have seen their hours reduced and, even before the crisis, 78% of workers were living paycheck to paycheck. To help provide relief during this time, PayActiv, the leading provider of employee earned wage and tip access, has waived its fees until further notice to help workers access their earned wages instantly.

More than 1,000 employers across healthcare, retail, food services, and business processing services have signed up for the PayActivplatform to manage their cash flow challenges, cut costs, and support their employees by enabling them to access their earned wages when they need them most. PayActiv has seen workers enroll in its services at a 200% increase week-over-week since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis, with much of that increase stemming from workers on the front lines of the crisis in America’s hospital systems, senior living centers, and recovery clinics.

IBM Security Research Reveals Unprecedented Increase in COVID-19 Themed Scamsespecially emails. Insights on How to Protect Yourself.

Stephanie Carruthers (known by her hacker alias, Snow) specializes in social engineering–thinking like a criminal in order to “hack” the human psyche, creating ruses to lure them into divulging sensitive information or taking an action. Cybercriminals use this tactic for their advantage, helping them tailor a more targeted cyberattack or even gain physical access to a secure facility. Fortunately, Stephanie hacks humans in order to help businesses find and fix their security holes, as part of IBM’s X-Force Red. Companies hire X-Force Red to break into their networks in order to find the security flaws that exist in their technology, processes, and staff awareness. For Snow, this means gathering information that has been overshared on the web, using her social engineering skills to go “vishing” (voice phishing) for additional intel on the phone, and even creating and using fake badges, costumes, and other tricks of the trade to get inside a company’s physical location. Snow also finds information that can help the team hack a company’s computer network; such as passwords on sticky notes in the background of a YouTube video, photos of security badges with employee info displayed or laptop screens showing the types of software a company uses.
