Beware of Phishing

There has been increasing incidences of phishing recently which targets the customers of leading banks throughout the world including our Bank. Hence to alert the customers on such attacks which actually start through a spoofed e-mail purported to be sent by the Bank, we give below the modus operandi of the attacks, how they are perpetrated to get the personal credentials from unsuspecting customers and also how to avoid becoming victims to such attacks.

Phishing is a form of cyber-attack in which scammers/attackers make Internet users divulge with sensitive information about their bank accounts and personal details. A common online phishing scam starts with a spoofed e-mail message that looks like an official notice from a trusted source, such as a bank, credit card company, or reputable online merchant.

Such spoofed mails would tell the recipients to validate or update their personal credentials failing which their accounts would become inactive and direct them to a website that looks like the genuine organisation’s website. If unsuspecting customers follow the links in the mail and submit their personal credentials, those details would be actually going to the fraudsters who later use the credentials for placing the orders, services, transferring money from the accounts, etc, leading to identity theft.
