An ongoing phishing campaign is masquerading as the QuickBooks accounting software support team seeking to steal victims’ personal information and likely conduct other malicious activity. In this particular campaign, users receive an email purporting to come from the QuickBooks support team with a warning message stating that QuickBooks is unable to verify account information and the account is about to be suspended. The scam message tries to fool users into clicking on “complete verification” button which “will likely redirect the recipients to a landing phishing site designed to harvest their personal information or infect their systems with malware,” according to BleepingComputer. The makers of QuickBooks, Intuit, noted that the phishing messages are illegitimate and the sender is not associated with the company. To defend against this and other phishing attacks, members are reminded to always carefully screen suspicious emails and never click on a link or attachment before verifying with the sender first.
