A fraudulent phishing email is circulating among Vermont attorneys this morning (9/8/2026) from “JUD” or “James Simith” at a false “vtcourts.gov” address. Recipients are asked to enter a code to download an attachment. Do not open. Delete this email!
The Judiciary is aware of the problem and is investigating. See the warning that has been placed at the top of the main Judiciary web page this morning.
