Update on case involving VT workers’ information being phished

Posted on September 7, 2017 by Dissent

Mike Donoghue reports a follow-up to a January 2016 phishing incident previously noted on this site:

Two Nigerians, indicted in Vermont on federal charges of conspiracy to file fraudulent tax returns, stole personal identification information from hundreds of Vermont state employees and other government workers, a prosecutor said Wednesday in U.S. District Court.

Drescher questioned whether Isibor would stick around to face criminal charges.
