DE| The Delaware Department of Insurance (DOI) issued Universally Applicable Bulletin No. 10 warning all regulated entities, including insurance carriers and third-party administrators, about an active phishing campaign impersonating the DOI with emails requesting license verification via fraudulent links. The Department emphasized that it never requests license verification through unsolicited emails or unverified links, and official correspondence will only come from addresses ending in delaware.gov or state.de.us. The bulletin advises recipients to avoid clicking unknown links, to report suspicious messages to IT or cybersecurity teams, and to follow best practices such as verifying sender addresses, enabling multi-factor authentication, and keeping security software updated. The DOI stresses ongoing vigilance and proactive staff training to counter phishing threats and maintain the security of regulatory communications.
