DreamHost CEO Josh Jones' Wife Falls for Phishing Scam

Jones' wife thought they were due for a fat tax refund do to a courteous IRS email. She promptly emailed away their Social Security and Visa Check Card Number. Josh stated, "But, believe it or not, my wife is not stupid. In fact, she has a PhD from Harvard! "


A funny thing happened to me on Tuesday.

Well, really it happened to my wife. But I hear being married is all about sharing.

We had just finished dinner when she casually mentioned we were getting a tax refund.

“Oh?” I responded…

“Yeah, I got an email”

“OH???????”…

I immediately had a sinking feeling.. had she been PHISHED?

although they have the habit of getting such info out whether you tell them or not
they aren't the better half for nothing

Courteous note from the IRS?? That should've been her first warning that something was awry....
