There have been nationwide reports of fake CM/ECF Notices of Electronic Filings (“NEFs”) being sent to attorneys and law firms. The fake NEFs are phishing attempts to convince the recipients to reply to the NEF to obtain a link to access a court document. The link provided by follow up email to the recipient leads to a malicious website.
Legitimate NEFs sent by the judiciary’s CM/ECF system do not require the recipient to reply to the email to obtain a link to a court document. NEFs that require a reply email to access a court document are fake phishing attempts and should be deleted. Please contact the clerk’s office at (603) 222-2600 with any questions.
