For my military friends & family Cyber Crime Alert Notice: A smartphone app presenting itself as a DFAS myPay service is not official and not sponsored by the military or other government agency, posing a cyber-threat to you. A third-party smartphone app called “MyPay DFAS LES” connects to DFAS on your behalf to access your myPay account. This app is NOT sponsored by DoD or the US Government. As such it presents a serious risk of compromising your account information and theft of funds. While giving your myPay account information to strangers is typically not considered a good idea, the app presents itself as an official DFAS service and as many as 50,000 members are estimated to have installed the app. Additional investigation has found similar apps for Android and iPhone. Apps that purport to allow access to military or government sites should only be installed if they are official apps sponsored by the military or other government agency.
