ING Bank: ATTENTION! ALERT for Customers from ALL over Romania
ING Bank collaborates with those from OLX for a wide information campaign among Romanians, and this is because the classifieds website was intensively used by hackers to test their attacks. The people from OLX show us below, together with ING Bank, how we can identify a clone of a banking website, so that we do not enter our login data that would allow hackers to have access to the accounts, and steal the money from there .
ING Bank says that we must always make sure that the bank's website is loaded on an HTTPS connection, but at the same time we must also look at the domain name, which must be the bank's, not another. Moreover, ING Bank says that we should not access email attachments, and not access unknown links received on social networks, and not authorize payments on unknown websites because they could be stolen from us the data.
ING Bank and OLX tries to help Romanians to be careful, and to protect themselves against phishing attacks, but as usual, people also need to listen to everything they are told.
