Recently, there was a ransomware attack aimed at car dealers. As a result, the IRS is warning individuals and businesses selling cars about evolving phishing and smishing scams. Scammers relentlessly pursue the sensitive financial and personal data of individuals, which they may use to steal identities or assets or install malicious software on victims’ computers.
