Banking - Prevention Campaign

13th December, 2013

New joint bank prevention and awareness campaign appeals for proper use of internet access devices.

The APB Interbank Online Security Forum, whose members include important financial institutions, has launched a campaign entitled “safe cliking at Christmas”. The campaign is designed to raise users' awareness and make sure that they know what precautions to take when online and use computers and smart phones sensibly.

It stresses the importance of vigilance and attention to security, especially in the festive season when there is normally an increase in crimes such as phishing and other online attacks.

In order to use the internet and devices safely, it is essential for users to be able to identify browsing risks and guarantee the safety of their data, computers and personal information. See more

The forum encourages users to contact their bank immediately if they find that the data requested on their home banking access page have been changed without prior notice from the bank.

It's up to you to protect your computer, tablet, smart phone and personal data!

Season's Greetings!
