Intuit and QB Warning

[kcjenkins]

Intuit and Quickbooks have put out a security alert warning:

Phishing Alert for QuickBooks Customers--security plug-in or digital certificate

Overview

IMPORTANT UPDATE FOR QuickBooks Customers: Intuit is receiving reports of individuals receiving fraudulent emails from QuickBooks or QuickBooks Online. The two separate emails ask customers to either download a plug in to assess their security or download a Digital Certificate. Customers should delete either of these emails. As we discover these fraudulent sites (cyber criminals often use the same email repeatedly, although they change web sites), we take them down.

You should go out to Intuit's website and look for Recent Intuit Security Alerts.

Thanks KC!

I actually received one of these e-mails and it really looked legitimate, but I am so cautious and felt that if this was truly from Intuit that there would be some notice from within the program itself and not through an e-mail.

I was going to research it, but because I'm in the process of upgrading I thought I would just wait.

Glad I did.

Deb!
