Security Summit plans National Tax Security Awareness Week, Dec. 3-7; New Twitter handle launched, ‘Dark Web’ webinar planned
The third annual National Tax Security Awareness campaign, to be held Dec. 3-7, will feature events nationwide, highlight a daily security topic and mark the launch of a special @IRSTaxSecurity Twitter handle that will keep the public aware of emerging threats throughout the 2019 tax filing season.
The campaign is especially timely as the holiday season brings out online shoppers sharing sensitive financial data as well as online thieves seeking to con people into disclosing information that can be used to file fraudulent tax returns.
Each day starting Dec. 3, National Tax Security Awareness Week will focus daily on a single key issue that poses a threat to individuals, businesses and tax professionals and provides tips to better protect sensitive data from cybercriminals.
The campaign will highlight simple steps taxpayers can take such as using strong security software and strong passwords. It will highlight common tactics used by identity thieves to target taxpayers, businesses and tax professionals. It will also focus on specific threats to businesses and to tax professionals, both of whom are increasingly targeted by crooks.
@IRSTaxSecurity to keep taxpayers, tax professionals aware of scams
Individuals, businesses and tax professionals can get all the information they need during National Tax Security Awareness Week by visiting a special section on IRS.gov, following @IRSTaxSecurity on Twitter or by signing up for
news releases and tax tips
on IRS.gov.
Free public webinar on how identity thieves use the Dark Web
In support of Tax Security Awareness Week, a free IRS webinar is being offered to help taxpayers understand the Dark Web and how it is used as a repository for: stolen identities, credit data, tax information and banking/financial information. During this webinar, IRS Criminal Investigation representatives will provide an overview of the Dark Web and answer questions that will help people recognize the risks and use of the Dark Web by cybercriminals.
Security Summit makes progress, needs help from public
Since forming the Security Summit partnership in 2015, the IRS, state tax agencies and the tax industry have made significant inroads into tax-related identity theft. Learn more about their efforts and their progress at
Security Summit
on IRS.gov.
Increasing public awareness about people’s role in protecting their own data is a critical part of the Security Summit efforts. Partners launched the “
Taxes. Security. Together
” awareness campaign in the fall of 2015. Tax professionals can also keep track of alerts, awareness efforts and security news at “
Protect Your Clients, Protect Yourself
,” an effort that’s included several campaigns including this summer’s “
Tax Security 101
.”
