Your firm is at risk

Accounting firms — like yours — are enticing targets for phishing and other online attacks because they handle large amounts of sensitive client data. Here’s how phishing works:

1. Fraudsters register a web domain — often for as little as $20 — that closely matches your website’s.
2. They then use this web domain to create fake websites and email addresses that look like yours.
3. Finally, they contact your clients, asking them to log in to “your” website and submit sensitive personal information.
   

.cpa protects your clients — and your firm

• .cpa is a restricted web domain. CPA-verified registration means fraudsters can’t buy web domains.
• .cpa makes all registrant information private, such as email addresses and other personal data, to help protect you from fraudsters.
• A .cpa web domain, coupled with other proactive security measures, can make going after your firm — and your clients — more trouble than it’s worth.
• A more secure web domain also helps protect sensitive client information that resides on your firm’s online portal.
