Tax software vendor Intuit has warned that QuickBooks customers are being targeted in an ongoing series of phishing attacks impersonating the company and trying to lure them with fake account suspension warnings.
Today's alert comes after Intuit received multiple user reports who received these phishing emails and notified their QuickBooks accounts were suspended following a failed business info review.
"We're writing to let you know that after conducting a review of your business, we have been unable to verify some information on your account. For that reason, we have put a temporary hold on your account," the attackers say in the phishing messages while impersonating the QuickBooks support team.
Clicking the "Complete Verification" button in the phishing email will likely redirect the recipients to a landing phishing site designed to harvest their personal information or infect their systems with malware.
Intuit advises customers who received one of these phishing messages not to click any embedded links or open attachments.
Earlier this year, in February, Intuit warned QuickBooks customers they were the targets of a phishing campaign impersonating the company and threatening to delete their accounts.
