DTS phishing scam
Be aware there is a phishing scam directed at users of the Defense Travel System. The scam consists of the DTS user receiving an e-mail asking them to log into DTS at the following link (www.defensetravel.osd.com) to sign their authorization immediately or their travel reservations are subject to cancellation. Notice that the furnished link reflects a dot-com (.com) Web site address, while the correct DTS Web site uses only a dot-mil (.mil) address. The Web-site accepts the user's CAC pin log-in information - which may ultimately comprise their digital certificates. DTS users may wish to process a Travel Assistance Center helpdesk ticket so these can be reported to the Defense Travel Management Office for their review/action.
