What happened?We discovered a cyberattack on our system on June 6th, 2017. Our forensic team was hired redress away to conduct an investigation. This led us to believe cybercriminals attacked the remote-access system, used by our outside IT personnel, to access our tax filing software around that time. This allowed the cybercriminals to access our system and files, including the utilize of what appears to be one staffs credentials. We then discovered that the cybercriminals used the information they obtained to endeavour to file fictitious federal tax returns to fraudulently receive refunds. Fortunately, we were able to inform and act with the Internal revenue Service. Currently, only federal tax returns were filed. Unfortunately, as we discussed, such fictitious assess returns were filed for you.
