CONCORD — The New Hampshire Department of Safety’s Division of Fire Standards and Training and Emergency Medical Services is notifying Granite State EMS providers, agencies and fire departments of a new phishing scam in which recipients’ computers are being targeted.
On Friday, May 15, FSTEMS learned that email messages sent to New Hampshire providers claimed to be a “service license update” with a “secure message” that needs to be accessed through a link. Recipients are then prompted to download a file to “view this and access future updates automatically.” The scam downloads a remote access tool, which could allow an external party to access their computer. The email appears to come from the “State of New Hampshire” and includes “nh.gov” before the email server name.
