Fraudulent Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) are being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email, they are sent a follow-on email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website. Please exercise extra caution with potentially illegitimate NEFs, validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only, and do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
