St. George Email Attack: What Every Southern Utah Business Needs to Know

On June 9, the St. George Police Department reported hackers targeted more than a dozen local businesses, hijacking their email accounts. The hacker then targeted their customers and partners with phishing emails and fraudulent payment requests.  

This is the biggest business email attack in Southern Utah this year. 

If you do business in Cedar City, Enoch, Hurricane, or anywhere in Southern Utah, you’re not safe by geography. These attacks travel at the speed of your inbox. 

The St. George email attack didn’t happen by chance.

Attackers often target a specific area or industry. They look for accounts with weak or reused passwords—sometimes found from old data breaches—or trick people into giving up their login info through phishing emails.

Once they have access, they move fast, sending out malicious emails to as many contacts as possible before anyone notices. That’s what happened here: trusted local email accounts were hijacked and weaponized.

Here’s what attackers send once they’re inside:

  • Fake invoices and payment requests 
  • Phishing links stealing even more credentials 
  • Malicious attachments that lock or ransom your data 

These attacks work because the emails come from real contacts, not obvious fakes—so they slip past spam filters and land right in your inbox.


Why Every Southern Utah Business Should Care 

Cleaning up costs more than prevention. Lost trust costs even more. 

If your email touches a St. George business, you’re a target. One click infects your business, your customers, and anyone you work with. Small businesses are prime targets because most aren’t protected, and recovery is brutal. 


4 Steps to Protect Your Business Today 

You must be proactive. These defenses are critical for protecting your business, whether you work with us or not. But if you’re unsure where to start, our experts at SC Network Solutions are here to help you put real protections in place before it’s too late. 

Here’s what you need to do ASAP: 

  1. Use strong, unique passwords for every account. Never reuse passwords, even for “unimportant” logins. 
  2. Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA). If your software doesn’t offer it, talk to us. We have solutions that work everywhere. 
  3. Deploy business-class email threat protection. Consumer-grade filters aren’t enough. We use professional tools to block malicious links and attachments. 
  4. Train every staff member. Everyone should know what to look for. Education is your best defense—over 90% of malware infections happen because someone accidentally clicks a malicious link.

Don’t Wait for Your Business to Be Next 

Attacks like the St. George email attack are becoming more common. Small businesses are a favorite target because many don’t have the right protection in place. Don’t wait for it to happen to you.
