Jackson County Emergency Management Warns of Phishing Scam

Jackson County Emergency Management is alerting residents to a phishing email scam currently circulating.

The fraudulent emails appear to come from “Jackson Alerts,” Jackson County’s mass notification system for official emergency notifications. The email may claim that a recipient’s Jackson Alerts account will be deleted within 48 hours unless they click a link to confirm their information.

Residents who receive one of these fraudulent messages should know not to click on any links or open attachments, never share personal or financial information, and report the email as phishing.

Jackson County Emergency Management is actively monitoring the situation and coordinating cybersecurity resources to protect residents. For more information or to confirm the legitimacy of a Jackson Alerts email, call (541) 774-6790.
