Re: Phishing from an AZ .gov address? I called their general intake line, and asked to be transferred to someone in IT to report phishing from one their employees, and they instead transferred me to the employee in question(!!), who was rather embarassed, and said I was probably the third person today to contact her and let her know her computer was infected.
She seemed sure it wasn't a virus, but it sounded like she was a rather typical, non-technical user, so I can only hope AZDHS is professional enough to be monitoring their own network.
You would think it would be easy enough for local law enforcement to subpoena the email address listed as the POC for the scam and go from there, but what do I know... I guess Sheriff Joe has other, more important priorities right now.

kudos:1 | This is better in scams and phishbusters. Maybe MGD  can take a crack at it.

kudos:7 | Not sure what there is to crack, I'm willing to bet the State of AZ has all sorts of nasty viruses flying around its network.

I'm happy with it being here. It's a reminder that government entities can pose as much security risk to users as anyone else, if not more.
A sad reminder, at that. |
