ADA Warns of Phishing Scam Targeting Membership Renewals

In light of a recent phishing attempt, the ADA is reminding member dentists to stay vigilant about cybersecurity as they renew their membership this fall. At least one member has received a fraudulent email warning them their membership would be suspended unless they clicked on a link to open a “payment advice document” and completed their “most recent up-to-date membership record.”  

The ADA reported the link, which was disabled after the company that was used to create and host the fraudulent document shut down the scammer’s user account.
