Can PTO mask EFINs given the latest scam to steal EFINs as reported by IRS?

We can't send encrypted email (or use Link) with tax returns to bankers, because that would be a FS. Clients often can't send encrypted emails.  No one wants to do paper. What do we do? I do not want my EFIN on 8879s.  I don't even want the last 4 digits of my FEIN on the signature page. Why does a client even need my EFIN if it is e-filed?
