Paramus NJ, no serious injuries were reported in the early Friday afternoon, 01/13, crash of mini school bus at mile marker 164.8 southbound on the Garden State Parkway in Paramus. The vehicle had been traveling north on the busy highway, but veered to the left, off of the paved roadway when its driver swerved to avoid another vehicle. It then careened across a grass center median & all southbound travel lanes, and came to rest on the southbound, right side grass shoulder. A series of injury-free, chain reaction, crashes on the Parkway’s northbound side occurred immediately after the mini bus careened off of the highway. Two (2) mini bus occupants were transported by ambulance to a local hospital; injuries were reported to have been non-life threatening in nature. The mini school bus was driven off of Parkway property by a tow truck driver and parked at a nearby hotel. A dozen or so occupants (students and teachers) were transported to the Paramus Park shopping mall to safely await repair of the bus, or the arrival of alternate transportation. Paramus Police, Paramus EMS, and the New Jersey State Police responded to the incident

“violent crime remained at alarmingly high levels”
by FBI Director Christopher Wray
Washington DC, in law enforcement, our most fundamental duty is to ensure people can live free from fear—a task that has become more challenging over the past few years. FBI crime statistics released in October showed that in 2021, for the second year in a row, violent crime remained at alarmingly high levels. From conversations I routinely have with police chiefs and sheriffs every week, those violent crime trends have continued throughout 2022.

Trenton NJ, on January 6, the NJCCIC observed a phishing campaign targeting New Jersey government employees. In this campaign, the sender claims to be from the employee’s human resources department announcing an annual vacation plan. A link leads to a phishing website where the employee is prompted to log in with their government email credentials. These emails spoof the display name of the sender email address to match the domain of the recipient, making the messages appear to come from a legitimate source in their organization. However, the sender’s hostname originates from the domain sumltomocorp[.]com, a website known for marketing spam URLs. Additionally, the link contains the recipient’s email address in the URL in another attempt to add legitimacy to the message.
