Phishing
attacks on the rise
You may have received
e-mail purportedly from your bank or credit card company stating
that they have been under attack or that they are upgrading
their security. These messages are an attempt to have you provide
private information that the senders can use to steal your
money, or establish credit in your name. No real bank or credit
card company will ask you to provide account information over
the internet.
