CEC Bank has published a very important information regarding the real danger that exists for customers all over Romania at the moment. You can see in the announcement below that we are being told about phishing attacks that can endanger any of the clients, at any time, unfortunately.
For over 1 year, CEC Bank has been issuing warnings of this kind to customers all over the country, and it is good not to ignore them because the danger itself is real. Due to attacks of this kind, there are enough people who have lost money, and not only in Romania, but also in many other countries.
Below you can see what the bank presents as a phishing attack that focuses on stock market investments. The example provided by the financial institution shows us a phishing attack in which a person is asked for personal and banking data by the attackers.
CEC Bank has warned us so many times not to send these types of information to unknown entities, and this is because they can be used against us. Unfortunately, a person who has this data could try to gain access to our bank accounts, even remotely.
In some cases, thefts of money made by hackers with access data to internet, mobile, banking platforms remain unsolved, with the money lost. Some banks in Romania have warned their clients about this very serious problem, but not everyone knows how to protect themselves.
CEC Bank has information on its website about the ways in which we can identify an attack of this kind before we get hurt. Of course, we have to be extremely vigilant about the messages we receive, but as a general rule, try to avoid doing what you are told through messages from strangers.
Vigilance is the only real weapon with which we can protect ourselves in the case of attacks of this kind, so it is very important to learn how to do it. CEC Bank is not the only bank from which warnings of this kind come, and they are all the same, all of them being intended to help us protect ourselves as effectively as possible against theft.
