(INDIANAPOLIS) – If you received an e-mail from an Indiana State agency saying you owe fees for the Indiana Toll Road, it’s a scam and you’re not alone.
The Indiana Department of Technology says strange messages from e-mail addresses belonging to the State of Indiana began arriving in inboxes late Monday night and early Tuesday morning.
It was initially unclear if the vulnerability is related to the State itself or GovDelivery, a platform used by government agencies to manage e-mails. Many state agencies no longer use GovDelivery and have transitioned to a different platform. There is also some evidence that the e-mails may be from holdover accounts, as the ones coming from the governor’s office still feature Gov. Eric Holcomb instead of Gov. Mike Braun, who took office in January.
Department of Technology officials Tuesday afternoon said that a contractor’s account was hacked, which was used to send the messages.
Each email indicated the recipient had “unpaid toll charges.” While the amounts of the tolls varied, the emails urged the recipient to visit a certain website and make a payment to “avoid late fees.” The emails carried a subject line of “TxTag Account Suspension Warning.” Anyone who receives the email should ignore it and avoid clicking the link.
