Please be advised there have been reports of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country from “@uscourts.gov.ecf.digital.” These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email, the recipient is sent a follow-up email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website.
Please take caution if you receive these fake NEFs. Validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only. Do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
