Intuit has warned QuickBooks customers that they are targeted by an ongoing phishing campaign impersonating the company and trying to lure potential victims with fake renewal charges.
Intuit also provides information on how customers can protect themselves from phishing attempts on its support website.
In July, Intuit also alerted its customers of phishing emails, asking them to call a phone number to upgrade to QuickBooks 2021 until the end of the month to avoid having their databases corrupted or company backup files removed automatically.
While Intuit didn't explain how the upgrade scheme worked, from BleepingComputer's previous encounters with similar scam attempts, the scammers will attempt to take over the callers' QuickBooks accounts.
Besides these two active campaigns, Intuit is also being impersonated by other threat actors in a fake copyright phishing scam, as SlickRockWeb CEO Eric Ellason said today.
In June, Intuit also notified TurboTax customers that some of their personal and financial info was accessed by attackers following a series of account takeover attacks.
