G**D,
Which Aussie damn exchange or project leaked its customers’ information? 🤬

A couple of days ago, I got a tax-filing email from the “ATO” saying it had identified my Crypto Asset Tax Obligations.
It told me to fill out a form within 24 hours or I’d be fined—and in serious cases, face criminal prosecution.

It is tax season in Australia, and Jeni had just filed taxes a few days ago.
The only problem was that this email went to my alt account, which I’ve never used to file taxes.

I quickly asked GPT to check it out, and sure enough, it was a phishing email.

A heads-up to everyone trading crypto in Australia: the ATO won’t proactively send you messages with links asking you to log in or enter personal information.
If you have any concerns, just go directly to myGov and check.
