Householders warned about fake Irish Water emails

Householders have been warned to remain vigilant as cybercriminals aim to steal from bank accounts via another wave of fraudulent emails claiming to come from Irish Water.

Internet security firm ESET Ireland has warned computer users are receiving an email titled “Update your account details” which is doctored to resemble a communication from Irish Water.

The email is a phishing scam designed to steal credit card information and Irish Water login information.
