State of Wisconsin

More than 500 Wisconsin state employees fell prey for a phishing scam which compromised the tax records of as many as 50 employees.

The workers got a email that directed them to a bogus landing page that replicated the Department of Human Resources website and encouraged them to click on a link that would enable them to access W-2 information.

Those who filled the form gave their name, address, Social Security number, and bank account number to the scammer.
