Indiana state agencies issued a warning about phishing emails that falsely appear to come from official state government accounts. These emails inform recipients of unpaid toll fees and threaten financial penalties or vehicle registration holds if payment is not made. They are signed off by 'TxTag Customer Service' and contain links to potentially harmful sites. The state confirmed that a contractor formerly employed was responsible for the compromised email accounts used for spreading these phishing attempts, emphasizing the risk to personal data and security.
Indiana state agencies are warning residents to delete fraudulent emails claiming unpaid toll fees sent from official state government addresses, which may lead to malicious websites.
These phishing emails are designed to intimidate residents with threats of vehicle registration holds and penalties if they do not respond, using official-looking communication.
The compromised account that enabled this phishing attempt was linked to GovDelivery, a service previously utilized by the state for communication purposes.
Officials are urging vigilance as these emails could potentially harm individuals' personal and financial information if unsuspecting recipients engage with the content.
