Alert: Phishing scam imitating state agency sent to local businesses Full article:

Governer David Ige and the department of commerce and consumer affairs issued an urgent alert to local businesses last week regarding criminals targeting Hawaii businesses with a dangerous phishing scam that could potentially capture and hold a business hostage with ransomware. The Office of Consumer Protection (OCP) has received numerous reports of local businesses receiving emails purportedly coming from the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) and OCP. These emails commonly referred to as “email phishing scams” are fraudulent and are an attempt to illegally obtain private information and to place malware on the businesses’ computers.
