Security Stop-Press : QuickBooks Customers Targeted By Phishing Attacks

Tax software vendor Intuit has warned that QuickBooks customers are being targeted with phishing attacks that are impersonating the company and are designed to lure targets with fake account suspension warnings. The phishing emails ask targets to click on a “Complete Verification” button which re-directs them to a phishing site designed to harvest personal information or infect their system with malware. The advice to QuickBooks customers is not to click any embedded links or open attachments, and to delete the messages from the inbox.
