Scam alert warning of a phishing website, codify . com, pretending to be state agencies - and a screenshot of a fake website
HONOLULU - The State of Hawaiʻi is warning the public of a potential phishing campaign using the domain codify.inc to impersonate official government websites.
What to Watch For:
Cybercriminals are creating deceptive web addresses (subdomains) to trick users into providing sensitive personal information or login credentials. Examples include:
- hi.usa.codify[.]inc (Impersonating the Dept. of Labor and Industrial Relations)
-
Here are similar links targeting other state agencies (do not open these links):
- https://dlir.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://hdoa.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://hidoe.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://dod.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://health.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://dbedt.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://dcca.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://psd.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://tax.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://dhs.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://bud.hi.usa.codify.inc/
- https://hidot.hi.usa.codify.inc/
These sites may appear legitimate and often use "AI-native services" as a lure to encourage users to enter their data.
How to Protect Yourself:
- Check the URL: Official State of Hawaii websites will always end in .gov. If the address ends in .inc, .co, or any other extension, it is not an official government portal.
- Verify the Source: Do not click on links provided in unsolicited emails or text messages. Type official addresses directly into your browser.
- Report Suspicious Activity: If you encounter a site you believe is fraudulent, please report it to the [email protected]
