What is phishing?

Asked by Banky team 2 months ago
Banky team Reviewed editorial answer

Phishing is an attempt to steal your data through a website or email that appears to belong to your bank or a well-known organization.

Steps

  1. The message often presses you with phrases like, "Your account will be suspended" or "Update your information immediately," and then takes you to a fake link.

  2. The best rule of thumb: Don't access your bank through a link in a message; open the official app or type the website address yourself.
