MURPHYSBORO – Jackson County Government officials are warning residents there that county government offices only use the internet domain of jacksoncounty-il.gov for any correspondence or any references to its presence on the internet.

This reminder comes as it has come to the county’s attention that someone has recently registered “jacksoncounty-il.com.”

Any use of “jacksoncounty-il.com” is likely malicious in nature and correspondence or links using it should be avoided.

It is recommended that everyone be especially vigilant with incoming emails as it is very easy to confuse the .gov of the legitimate county government domain with the .com.
