Maybe they'll share IT Security secrets.
The IRS Says Identity Thieves Hacked Its Systems Again To steal tax refunds.
By Jonathan Chew
Feb 10th, 2016 8:25 am ET Identity thieves attempted to breach computer systems at the Internal Revenue Service to file fraudulent tax refunds.
The criminals were especially after E-file PINs, which are used by some individuals to electronically file a return, the agency said in a statement released Tuesday. Around 464,000 unique social security numbers were involved, and of that total, 101,000 SSNs were used to successfully access an E-file PIN.
The thieves used personal taxpayer data that was stolen elsewhere to help generate the PINs, the agency said. No personal data was compromised or disclosed by IRS systems, and affected taxpayers will be notified by mail of the attack. “The IRS is also protecting their accounts by marking them to protect against tax-related identity theft,” the agency added.
