Deja blues... LockBit boasts once again of ransoming IRS-authorized eFile.com

LockBit claims to have compromised eFile.com, a third-party IRS‑authorized tax filing service, and is attempting to extort the site with potential exposure of customers' personal and financial data; the claim is unverified but follows a prior 2022/2023 compromise where malicious JavaScript on eFile.com redirected visitors to malware. Despite law enforcement disruption of LockBit operations, the gang and its ransomware strains remain active, so affected users should monitor for suspicious banking activity.
