      Summary
    • Judge Dredd 03/31/2023 at 05:30 AM

      Users have reported receiving a fraudulent email from kamiya@n-messcud.jp, claiming to have updated their entity registration on SAM.gov. Multiple users experienced the same issue, with some unable to access the website or noticing their entity information was deleted. In response to the situation, some users tried to contact the Federal Service Desk, but faced long waiting times.

      It was later discovered that this issue appeared to be related to a software problem rather than a scam, phishing attempt, or security breach. SAM.gov advised users to ignore the emails and stated that they were working to address the issue. However, one user claimed that the issue was a security breach and that two of their accounts had been hacked since receiving the fraudulent email. The user expressed concerns about the federal government not being truthful about the situation.

      Same. Received the notification below from SAM. And now I cannot access SAM at all (it's not my internet connection. SAM.gov is the only site I have trouble accessing. Maybe there is too much traffic bc they are fielding all these scam updates?)

      I received the same email and was able to log in to SAM several hours ago - there were no changes made to my account from what I could tell. Does everyone believe the email is a phish?

      Same message. This is probably a problem with SAM.GOV's emailowl.com automated responses. Given the 10 comments above this one, I suspect SAM SPAMMED out this erronious message to the entire databse.

      We received the same email as everyone above 03/03/2023 at 1:57 AM. Sam gov is now not loading at all I assume due to everyone trying to access their accounts. Wait time is insane. If anyone gets an update from a rep please post.

      FYI, if you go to the federal service desk site now, you'll see a notification at the top: "Email Issue on SAM.gov Some Entity Administrators are receiving emails from SAM.gov with the subject "SAM.gov | Someone updated the entity registration for {{LBN}}." Ignore these emails. They are being generated in error and SAM.gov is investigating."

      The current alert at SAM.gov says “Some Entity Administrators are receiving these emails from SAM.gov. We believe the matter is related to a software issue. We are continuing to investigate and working to address the matter. This does not appear to be a scam, phishing attempt, hack, malicious behavior, or a security breach.”

      This is all BS by the way. In 24 hours, two other of our accounts have been hacked, all pertaining information was on SAM. This was a breach and someone isn't telling the truth about it as of yet. Why admit that the federal government had a massive breach? One of our accounts didn't have a option for two factor and one did. We caught the one in time, not the other. We're currently locked out of our account and working with the company to regain control.
