New IRS Form Fraud Campaign Targets G Suite Users

At least 50,000 executives have been affected so far.

A new scam using an IRS form as its mechanism has been found targeting users of Googles G Suite, with as many as 50,000 executives and important employees affected so far.
The campaign, discovered and reported by researchers at Abnormal Security, claims to contain an IRS W-8BEN form in PDF format. The attached form asks for far more personal information than required on the actual W-8BEN, which is the form needed to maintain a nonresident tax-exemption status.
While there is no malware payload attached to the email, providing all the requested information would give the attackers a treasure trove of personal info that could be used for identity theft and other fraud.
