“The United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has announced the abolition of its PIN tool due to the platform being hacked. Under the now abolished electronic filing PIN tool (e-File PIN), people dealing with the IRS were able to use a PIN number to access services on IRS.gov or by toll-free phone call. The agency cited ‘additional questionable activity’ as the impetus for the change. According to Sophos, 800 cases of identity thefts were identified earlier this year causing the PIN system to be partially suspended in March, although at the time the IRS told taxpayers who already had a PIN to continue using the service to file their tax returns as they normally would.”
