BANCA Transilvania is notifying all its customers in Romania about a very serious warning that they should take into account now, and this is because they must be aware of a potentially dangerous situation. We are talking about 4 methods by which BANCA Transilvania clients, but not only, can be tricked into giving up their personal data, or even have their money stolen by various people of bad faith, without knowing what is happening.
BANCA Transilvania initially tells us about emails, and this is because one of the main methods by which phishing attacks are carried out involves emails sent to people to trick them into acting in a certain way or another. Usually, the emails contain information intended to scare people into giving their personal data to a clone of a BANCA Transilvania website, or to install a malicious application.

BANCA Transilvania also brings into discussion the social networks, and this, as on Facebook, there are many fake pages made to imitate the real pages of financial institutions, or of other important companies in Romania, and not only that. BANCA Transilvania says that the same thing also happens on Instagram, Twitter, TokTok, or even Pinteres, so we must be extremely vigilant, no matter what types of platforms we use.
BANCA Transilvania says that phishing attacks can also be carried out through phone calls, or even through SMS messages, and here vigilance must be very high on our part to be safe. The problem is especially big in the case of SMS that can contain links to malicious websites, whether they are clones of other real ones, or whether they recommend us to install malicious applications in phones.
BANCA Transilvania published this warning to try to protect Romanians against the major problems represented by phishing attacks, but the reality is that people must know how to protect themselves against them.
