Emotet is a type of malware that is primarily spread through malicious email attachments or links. Once a device is infected, Emotet can steal sensitive information, such as banking credentials, personal data, and corporate secrets.
During tax season, Emotet attackers send out convincing emails posing as legitimate organizations, such as the IRS or tax preparation services. These emails typically contain attachments or links that, once clicked, download the malware onto the victims device.
During tax season, individuals are more likely to receive unsolicited emails related to taxes, making it easier for cybercriminals to disguise their phishing attempts. It is crucial for taxpayers to be vigilant and double-check the authenticity of any emails they receive.
Keep yourself updated on the latest news and alerts regarding cybersecurity threats, especially during tax season. Follow reputable sources for information on current scams and phishing campaigns.
Avoid clicking on links or downloading attachments from emails that you were not expecting. If you are unsure about the legitimacy of an email, contact the sender directly through a verified channel.
Ensure that your email and financial accounts are protected with strong, unique passwords. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters to make it harder for cybercriminals to access your accounts.
