The IRS is warning of phishing emails that try to trick tax professionals into downloading software updates. The IRS has seen the fake software update scheme before, and the agency warned of it a year ago. The warning comes during a 10-week IRS security education campaign called “Don’t Take the Bait” The campaign is designed to educate tax preparers on the efforts by cybercriminals to steal personal information, and, in some cases, refunds. Between January and May, the IRS says it received 177 reports from tax professionals that had seen data stolen.”]
