New Malware in Circulation Linked to Airlines and Facebook
It has come to our attention that another new strain of malware is targeting the users of internet banking in the UK.
The malware seeks to manipulate the log-in process. If infected, a screen will appear telling you that you must change your PIN & password before you can log-in.
If you complete this bogus screen, you will be handing your log-in credentials to fraudsters.
Intelligence suggests that the malware is spread as an e-mail attachment which purports to come from either airlines (with the title of Flight Confirmation) or Facebook (with the title of A Photo of You From Facebook). Please take great care when opening unsolicited e-mails and attachments that purport to come from these sources.
To stay safe on-line, please remember these essential security tips
We will never ask for your full PIN and password online or via the telephone,
We will never ask you to change your PIN and password as part of the log-in process,
We will never ask for a challenge code from your smartcard and reader in order to log-in or confirm your identity.
If you spot anything suspicious or unusual about your Bankline session, then you should immediately contact the Bankline Helpdesk for support and advice.
