It is a cyber crime activity which usually occurs when a user’s computer is infected by a malware program called “Trojan or virus”, which diverts you from a banking site to a fraudulent one in order to steal sensitive information and commit fraud.
How does it happen?
- By downloading images and programs associated to a fraudulent email, opening attached files or electronic links from a doubtful source.
- When you download pictures, videos, free programs, games, or songs from unknown sources on the internet.
Prevention
- Do not select links, nor download programs or files attached to emails or while navigating on the internet without verifying that they are legitimate or trustworthy.
- Keep Firewalls installed and always updated, as well as anti-virus programs which will protect you from cybernetic attacks.
