west virginia dhhr warns of spam texts being sent out phishing for info

[butters]

The spam text message reads: “West Virginia Covid-19 Vaccine Driver License Waiver Validation. Validate your details below” (with a clickable link). It then states, “Department of Health l State of West Virginia. Text “STOP” to stop msg.”

An additional spam message reads: “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in partnership with the West Virginia State DMV requires an immediate validation of your Covid-19 status. This is a waiver validation update and a compulsory one-time validation for all West Virginia residents.”

of course, there will be those who attempt to comply, those who get up in arms believing it's a foul conspiracy by the CDC and President Biden, and those who just get worried.

Seems like another nothingburger. A large percentage of West Virginians don't have texting capability, and even less actually have a drivers license.
