The State of West Virginia is warning the public of a potential phishing campaign to impersonate official government websites.
What to watch for: Cybercriminals are creating deceptive web addresses to trick users into providing sensitive personal information or login credentials.
How to protect oneself:
Check the URL. Please go to WV.GOV to find all official State of West Virginia websites.
Report suspicious activity. If a person encounters a site one believes is fraudulent, please report it to the West Virginia Fusion Center.
Verify the source. Do not click on links provided in unsolicited emails or text messages. Type official addresses directly into one’s browser.
