As the deadline for tax filing draws near, the Center for Internet Security (CIS), a national not-for-profit focused on enhancing the security readiness and response of public and private sector entities, issued tips for protecting against cyber scammers and reminds users to remain vigilant to safeguard their information.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) cites identity theft as the top concern in its Dirty Dozen Tax Scams for 2012. Criminals are obtaining individuals’ names and personal information to file fraudulent claims in attempts to receive refunds. The IRS reported that it protected more than $1.4 billion of taxpayer funds from identity theft last year.
