Beware of false emails

Central Hudson is advising customers not to open an email from accounts@ccenhud.com.

It’s not a valid Central Hudson email address. The message refers to electronic billing and directs readers to a ZIP file, which may contain malicious code.

James P. Laurito, president of Central Hudson, said that the utility’s notices for electronic billing do not contain attachments. Customers who are uncertain about the origin of an email can call Central Hudson at 452-2700 or 1-800-527-2715 and ask to speak with a customer representative.
