Meanwhile, back at the phishing for W-2 department…

Posted on April 23, 2016 by Dissent

After 24 days of updating my scratch list of incidents involving phishing for W-2 information (business email compromise), I decided to take stock and try to organize what we have so far. I was surprised to see that there were already 90 incidents (make that 126 as of May 18th). Most of these entries were found via media reports and reports to state attorneys general. Some were found via KrebsOnSecurity. In a few cases, it’s not totally clear whether an incident was a phishing attack or some other type of breach that compromised employee information.

Updated Mar 3, 2017:  Because some additional reports from 2016 have become available, I have decided to update this post so that we have a better comparison for the 2017 list. This will likely not be the final update for this list, as the state has yet to finish uploading all its 2016 data.

If you have any additions, deletions, or corrections to suggest, please email me at breaches [at] databreaches.net.

    Any chance you can add the states? I see my school district up there but I don’t know if it’s the same state.

      If you search my site for the name of the school district, you should find my coverage on the incident which should give you the state.

    This is an impressive list great work on compiling! Phishing is a serious risk and one that is best mitigated by end user awareness combined with a good email gateway solution. [advertising material deleted by moderator – not allowed on this site, thanks.]
