The state of Oregon continues efforts to resolve an email issue with the oregon.gov domain that is still preventing communication from state employees.
On 19 June, Oregon Live reported that agency directors across the state of Oregon received a message alerting them to a phishing attack that generated over eight million spam emails from an oregon.gov email address.
“This happened over the weekend and was caught on Monday. Unfortunately, we did not catch it before external mail providers downgraded the Oregon.gov sender reputation score – a score that shows how mailbox providers view your IP address. As a result of this incident, mail from Oregon.gov has been blacklisted by certain providers,” the message said.
