NSC Technologies

"What Happened? On March 2, 2017 an on-line hacker posing as NSC’s CEO emailed the company’s payroll department and directed that copies of employee W-2 forms be sent to him. Believing the request to come from the CEO, the payroll department forwarded PDF copies of a number of employee IRS W-2 forms to the requestor, who was using a false email address that appeared to belong to NSC’s CEO. Although this “spoofing” episode was identified for what it was literally moments after the W-2 forms were sent to the hacker, by that point the forms themselves had already been shared with him or her. At this point we have no indication that any of the information contained on the W-2 forms that the payroll department was tricked into sharing with the hacker has been misused in any way, but the potential for such misuse certainly exists.What Information Was Involved?This incident involved your 2016 IRS W-2 form, which includes your name, address, social security number, and 2016 income and withholding information."More Information: https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/NSC%20Data%20Breach_CA%20Letter_030717_0...?
