Important Notice: Phishing Alert

It has come to our attention that phishing messages potentially containing malicious links or attachments are being sent from outside McCann FitzGerald purporting to come from our Managing Partner, Stephen Holst.

These messages are not from McCann FitzGerald, are spam and should be ignored, immediately deleted/reported in line with your internal IT policies.

We would like to assure you that our IT systems have not been compromised. The email domain used, whilst similar, is not our official domain ‘mccannfitzgerald.com’.

As a protective measure, we have reported this issue to the relevant authorities. We have also followed all recommended steps to escalate this to our IT security providers, requesting that they add the false domains “mccanfitzgerald.com” and “mccannfitzgeralds.com” to their list of malicious domains. This should mean that emails from these domains are now marked as spam and that the websites are flagged as malicious. This should now highlight to others that the email addresses and websites are not legitimate and limit the potential for any recurrence.

If you are unsure about the validity of any communication received from McCann FitzGerald, please check with your usual McCann FitzGerald representative or verify our correct contact details here.
