Watch The Hack!!!
February 2008
We've been alerted to some phishing attacks and one has been observed on the state network. The malicious email appears to be from the IRS with the subject line “IRS : Tax Refund” and informs the recipient that they are eligible for a tax refund.
Similar phishing emails have appeared to be from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Justice, and the Federal Trade Commission. Some are “personalized” by associating the recipient with their workplace. Please remind your employees that if they get a suspicious email to not take any action through the email by clicking on a link. If the recipient believes the email to be authentic, they should verify with the sending organization that the email is valid. These emails typically attempt to steal personal or corporate information.
