Cybercriminals Target ANCHOR Property Tax Relief Fraud

16640313845855 3804797353

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

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.
