LOHUD--SMISHING SCAM---UNPAID TOLL INVOICE TEXT

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

If you’ve received a text from New York Toll Services alerting you to an unpaid toll, ignore it.

The New York State Thruway Authority said it’s the latest in a string of so-called smishing scams.

“E-ZPass or Tolls By Mail WILL NEVER send a text or email requesting sensitive personal information such as credit card number, social security, user names, passwords, etc.,” Thruway officials warn in a social media post.

Smishing scams deploy fake text messages to trick users into downloading malware or sharing sensitive information or money with cybercriminals, according to an FBI alert issued in April. MORE AT Got an "unpaid toll invoice" text from NYS tolls? It's a scam (lohud.com)

Riverkeepers Join Legal Action To Stop Illegal Sturgeon Killing
The environmental groups contend that three states, including New York, are allowing the illegal "bycatch" of the endangered species.

HUDSON VALLEY — A respected Hudson Valley environmental organization has joined with other environmental groups to notify three states, including New York, of their intent to sue over the illegal killing of endangered Atlantic sturgeon.

On Thursday, the Delaware Riverkeeper Network and Hudson Riverkeeper joined to submit notices of intent to sue for the illegal killing of Atlantic sturgeon to New York, New Jersey and Delaware. According to the 60-day notices, which are required by federal law before the organizations can actually file their litigation, Atlantic sturgeon are being killed in high and unaccounted for numbers without required permitting or approval pursuant to the Endangered Species Act.
