Ridgewood NJ, the Affordable NJ Communities for Homeowners & Renters (ANCHOR) program was developed to offset both the high costs of living and property tax burden, replacing the Homestead Benefit program and expanding the number of eligible taxpayers. Nearly 1.7 million New Jersey citizens applied for the ANCHOR property tax relief program by the February 28 filing deadline. The NJCCIC detected a series of phishing emails attempting to steal New Jersey residents’ ANCHOR program ID and PIN. These emails originated from similar IP addresses and the same subject line “ANCHOR Program Request for ID/PIN,” with some of the messages containing attachments. Further analysis also identified telephone-oriented attack delivery (TOAD) phishing attempts containing similar subject content as well as attempts to redirect payments. Recent open-source reporting indicates that threat actors may have filed fraudulent claims purporting to be NJ taxpayers.

Ridgewood NJ, Silvergate Bank, a crypto-friendly bank, announced it will “voluntarily liquidate” its assets and wind down operations after announcing it would have to delay filing its annual 10-K report due to issues with its independent auditors. Under the wind down, all deposits will be repaid in full, and the bank is exploring ways to resolve claims and preserve the residual value of its assets, including its proprietary technology and tax assets. The California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation and the White House are monitoring the situation, with the Senate Banking Committee Chairman urging Congress to take action on crypto issues. Silvergate had taken out approximately $4.3 billion in federal loans and will suspend its Silvergate Exchange Network (SEN). It appears to be the first major bank collapse since October 2020, and possibly the largest bank to fail since 2009.
