BEWARE OF TAX SEASON SCAMS!
Cyber criminals are certainly aware it’s tax season, and you should be too. Cyber criminals are trying to dupe you into believing you are sending them a legitimate tax document, or they are calling you to convince you they are tax examiners and need your personal information. BE CAUTIOUS!

Cyber Task Force Security Update
New Ransomware – Ryuk
The MEL saw a number of cyber claims at the very end of 2018. While the holiday season is a very popular time of year for cyber criminals, the number of claims was unusually high. As the incidents are being dissected, the MEL is noticing most of the claims containing a new strain of ransomware, called Ryuk.
The New Jersey Cyber Communications and Integration Cell (NJCCIC) reported that Ryuk is very advanced, killing many processes and embedding itself deep into the system, in addition to deleting backup files, making it difficult to successfully overcome.
