Frontier Technologies: How to Detect a Phishing Email
Financial institutions are some of the top targets of hackers using phishing attacks to breach security. While this industry is also more cyber-mature than others from a technology control perspective, it is often the human element that fails to detect the scam, resulting in costly thefts. In fact, 90% of all successful hacking scams start with a phishing attack, and almost 50% of all phishing attacks involve redirecting users to a phony banking website used to steal credentials. This article provides a guide to avoiding such attacks, so prevalent in financial institutions.

Peppper Hamilton Client Alert: Strict Liability For Ineffective UCC-1: Guidance For Secured Creditors
On May 31, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Georgia, in In re Wastetech, LLC, granted a bankruptcy trustee’s motion for summary judgment, holding that the secured party’s UCC-1 financing statement was ineffective to perfect its security interest in the debtor’s assets. The court found the financing statement was ineffective because it did not include the debtor’s legal name, which the debtor changed without notifying the secured party, and it did not reasonably identify the collateral subject to the security interest. The case provides important guidance to creditors, including: Creditors should always conduct due diligence on the information required on a financing statement, regardless of their relationship with the debtor; It is best practice for a creditor to be specific when listing collateral for security interest, unless the financing statement covers all assets or all personal property.

Ballard Spahr Alert: IRS Final Regulations: Partners Must Pay Self-Employment Tax on Partnership Income—Even From a 'Disregarded Entity'
The IRS has published Final Regulations finalizing its prior guidance that partners in a partnership must pay self-employment tax on their partnership income, even if they work for an entity owned entirely by the partnership and that is disregarded as an entity separate from the partnership for federal income tax purposes. The IRS’s long-held position is that a partner of a partnership may not be treated as an employee of the partnership for federal employment tax purposes. Instead, each partner is treated as self-employed and subject to self-employment taxes. Thus, compensation paid to a partner in a partnership for services performed for the partnership should not be reported by the partnership as wages on IRS Form W-2. Instead, all amounts paid to a partner in the capacity of a partner, whether compensation or otherwise, are reported on the partners’ Form 1065, Schedule K-1. If the payments are guaranteed compensation, they are reported as such on partners’ Form 1065, Schedule K-1, and the partners must pay self-employment taxes.
