Now poor Anthem's being used in email phishing attacks

[Dave Baker]

After Anthem's security breach, they've become fodder for phishing attacks ("Members who may have been impacted by the cyber attack against us should be aware of scam email campaigns targeting current and former members. These scams, designed to capture personal information (known as “phishing”) are designed to appear as if they are from a health plan and the emails include a “click here” link for credit monitoring. These emails are NOT from us.").

My day isn't looking to be turning out so bad, in comparison

And the weekend will be even better!

I have not heard of Intuit having been hacked, but I have been getting some very authentic looking emails. However, if you look at the address of the link that it wants you to use, you will see that you will be taken to what seems like a very suspicious website that does not have Intuit in its name. I have hear that the State of Minnesota is not accepting tax returns done with TurboTax. I wonder if there is any connection?

[My 2 cents]

In today's news - TurboTax has completely shut down state form filing (all states) pending enhancement of their security.
