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.

Phishing is a cybercrime in which a target or targets are contacted by email, telephone or text message by someone posing as a legitimate institution to lure individuals into providing sensitive data such as personally identifiable information, banking and credit card details, and passwords. The information is then used to access important accounts and can result in identity theft and financial loss.
The NJCCIC advises against clicking links in unexpected emails from unverified senders. Users are encouraged to verify the legitimacy of a request by contacting the sender via another means of communication, such as by phone, and only enter account login credentials on official websites. Users who submitted account credentials on a fraudulent website are advised to change their passwords and enable multi-factor authentication (MFA). Additionally, phishing emails and other malicious cyber activity can be reported to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center and the NJCCIC.
Based on my prior dealings with state government employees they aren’t the ‘brightest bulbs in the chandelier”
Hiring seems to be based on ‘checking boxes’ vs competency
