On February 14, 2017, Driveline informed employees that they were a victim of an email spoofing attack that compromised employee personal information. The notice states that the “phishing” email was sent on January 25, 2017, by someone who posed as Driveline management, requesting all copies of 2016 W-2s of Driveline employees.
