BCR Romania is one of the biggest banks in our country at the moment, and for all Romanian clients it has an extremely important alert that they should know about right now. We are talking about an alert regarding BCR Romania which focuses on the frauds that continue to be committed through OLX, and the bank is trying to warn its Romanian customers about the fact that they can very easily become victims of attacks.
BCR Romania comes with this alert because it is very possible that many people will be affected by what is happening, the problem being an extremely serious one, especially in the context of the changes brought by PSD2. Banks in Romania have started to alert customers all over the country about the fact that due to the changes made by PSD2 and the increase in the level of security for transactions, some stolen money cannot be recovered, so BCR Romania is trying to protect them on clients.
BCR Romania: Important ALERT for All Customers in the Country
BCR Romania talks about frauds that take place through OLX, Romanians being tricked into providing hackers with access to card data under the pretext of buying the products they put up for sale. Basically, BCR Romania says that a Romanian who has a product listed for sale on OLX is contacted by a hacker who convinces him to send the money for the product directly to the card, provides him with a link where he can give his card details to receive the money, but in fact the victim gives the card information to the hackers.
BCR Romania says that that information can be used by hackers to make purchases on the Internet using the money from our accounts, and this is because the victims give up all the essential information of the card. Hackers usually use cards for purchases on websites that do not have the 3D Secure system implemented, so BCR Romania recommends us to be careful and not become victims of hackers who initiate these attacks.
BCR Romania is not the only bank from which warnings of this kind come at the moment, so it is good to be very vigilant because the attacks have been intensifying for a long time already.
