2023-04-03 Is EFile Legit

Brian Krebs toot about efile.com serving malware at https://infosec.exchange/@briankrebs/110136163317989884 made me try to figure out what it was. And, yeah, a gazillion content farms telling Google that of course it's legit. I'm trying to figure out how to explain the "IRS E-file" vs "efile dot com" situation to my elderly friend whom I sent the "no, you can use the IRS web site for free" link a few days ago.
