The IRS’s Cyber Security Organization has seen a drastic increase in criminals attempting to Spear phish tax professionals’ computer systems using email “lures”. Spear-phishing is a targeted attempt to steal sensitive information such as account credentials or financial information from a specific victim. IRS Stakeholder Liaison Area 3 is holding 2 short briefings, to show you what some of the most recent scam emails look like.  The briefings are being held because of an uptick in Spear-phishing emails being sent to phishing@irs.gov.  Please join the IRS Stakeholder Liaison for a discussion and demo of these types of scams and information on how you can protect yourself.  Choose the date/time below that better fits your schedule: Date/Time #1: March 30, 2022, at 12:30 pm CDT Date/Time #2: March 31, 2022, at 8:30 am CDT  Access Zoomgov join links here.
