There has been nationwide reporting of fake Notices of Electronic Filing (NEFs) being sent to attorneys and law firms across the country. These fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince recipients to respond back to the emails. Once a recipient replies to the email they are sent a follow-on email containing a link to access a document that leads the user to a malicious website. NEF recipients are encouraged to take caution if they receive these fake NEFs and validate cases and case documentation through CM/ECF only.  Please do not download any attachments or click any links from unofficial or questionable sources.
