P2019-ND-162

On May 2, 2019, an unauthorized sender caused a “phishing” email to be sent to email addresses from an Advisor’s contact list. The phishing email was written to trick recipients into providing payment in the form of Google Play cards. Responses were redirected to an alternate email and the owner of the account is not known. Some individuals who received the communication identified it as a phishing attempt and notified the Advisor’s office the same day. The Organization?s Head Office was notified of the incident on May 16, 2019.
