WI: Hackers compromise Ozaukee Co. workers’ tax info

Posted on March 9, 2016 by Dissent

WISN reports that Ozaukee County workers became victims of tax refund fraud after  their W-2 and Form 1095 tax information was compromised in a hack of GreenShades‘ web site. The county employees use GreenShades for tax filing. Greenshades learned of the breach last month when it noticed some suspicious logins on February 14.

As of last night, there were reportedly 190 victims of tax refund fraud.
