Israeli Cyber Directorate warns of phishing emails posing as the Tax Authority.
Fraudulent emails demand payment for debts including traffic fines.
Links lead to fake government-like payment pages requesting personal and credit card data.
Public advised to verify debts only on the official gov.il website.
Those who entered card details should contact their credit card company immediately.
Suspicious emails can be reported to the Cyber Directorate hotline 119.

The Israeli National Cyber Directorate issued a warning on Monday about a new phishing campaign involving emails that impersonate the Israel Tax Authority. These fraudulent emails demand payment of debts, including traffic fines, and contain links to fake payment pages designed to look like official government websites. Users who click the links are prompted to enter personal information and credit card details.

The Cyber Directorate reported receiving numerous complaints about these emails and urged the public not to click on the links or provide any personal or payment information. They emphasized that debts should never be paid through links received in unexpected emails or messages. Instead, individuals are advised to verify any outstanding debts by independently visiting the official government website at gov.il.

For those who have already entered their credit card details, the Cyber Directorate recommends contacting their credit card company immediately. Additionally, suspicious emails can be reported to the National Cyber Directorate via their hotline at 119.
