ADVISORY: East Windsor Officials Encourage Residents to Lookout for Phishing Emails. Phishing is a form of social engineering in which a threat actor attempts to trick victims into visiting a malicious website and disclosing sensitive information such as account login credentials, financial information, or personally identifiable information (PII), or opening a malicious attachment that installs malware onto their system. Phishing attacks can be conducted through email, social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter, SMS text messages, or over the phone. Clone Phishing is a type of phishing attack whereby a legitimate, and previously delivered, email containing an attachment or link has had its content and recipient address(es) taken and used to create an almost identical or cloned email. The attachment or link within the email is replaced with a malicious version and then sent from an email address spoofed to appear to come from the original sender. Never click on links or open attachments delivered with unexpected or unsolicited emails, social media messages, or text messages. If you accidentally do click on a suspicious link or visit a phishing website, do not enter any personal information on the site and disconnect your device from the network as soon as possible. If you suspect that you may have received an email from the Township that is unsolicited or possibly a Clone Phishing attempt, you may contact the Township at (609) 443-4000, ext. 245 to verify its legitimacy.
