Cyber Attack On IRS May Have Hit Many More Americans Than We Thought


There is no word on that available at this time, but common sense indicates if you believe there are issues with your ID’s, accounts and credit cards–immediately get them all shut down.  This IRS cyber attack comes on the heels of the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM) cyber attack.  That breach which originated in China affected 22 million people —having their social security numbers stolen among other sensitive personal information.

In May, the agency reported that hackers used private information to file fraudulent tax returns, which were then used to collect nearly $50 million.”

Fifty million stolen is almost inconceivable from the IRS.  Hopefully, this is the decline of these types of hacker/criminals–the US can’t afford to lose this cyber war.
