Emails claiming to be from EFTPS on the rise
Security researchers warn that a false distribution campaign producing emails about failed electronic tax payments has significantly increased. The "from" field in these emails is spoofed to appear as if it is originating from "EFTPS Tax Payment," and the email tells users that their tax payment submitted through the Electronic Federal Tax Payment System (EFTPS) has failed. The message claims the payment failed with an R21 return reason code, and provides a link to obtain additional information. The malware installed as a result of clicking on the link is commonly used by fraudsters to steal online banking credentials, credit card details, and other sensitive information.
If you receive one of these phishing emails, DO NOT CLICK ON THE LINK! The safest rule is to never follow web links in unsolicited e-mails from unknown parties or from parties with whom you do not normally communicate, or that appear to be known but are suspicious or otherwise unusual.
