PRESS RELEASE
A new phishing campaign targeting banks in Monaco is currently underway. Here is a reminder of what to do and what to watch out for.
This fraudulent operation uses emails, text messages and phone calls impersonating banks and payment services to gather confidential information including usernames, passwords and bank card numbers by inviting recipients to click on a link leading to a fake website that is an exact reproduction of a customer portal.
There are a number of signs that can help to identify a phishing attempt:
- Tone designed to induce fear or prompt action (“Your account will be blocked”, “immediate action required”)
- Link to a website whose address is slightly different to that of the official website
- Request for security codes, personal or banking information
- Spelling errors, different logo or unusual presentation
To protect yourself, we strongly recommend that you:
- DO NOT RESPOND TO THE SENDER
- Never share your usernames or PINs, even with someone who claims to represent the bank
- Do not click on links or attachments in suspicious messages
- Check the sender’s real email address by holding your finger on the <sender> field (on a smartphone) or hovering the mouse cursor over the link (do not click on it) if you are on a PC
- Where possible, contact the organisation concerned directly to confirm the message or call that you have received if you have any doubts
- Report the email as spam and/or block the sender
- Forward the email received to cyber@gouv.mc
- Once reported, permanently delete the message
You will also find practical advice to protect yourself against cybercrime on the dedicated pages of MonServicePublic.mc.
