WARNING - Phishing campaigns targeting bank users

CIRT is warning citizens about an ongoing phishing campaign targeting bank users in order to steal financial information and personal data. The phishing messages are being spread through SMS, with the attacker posing as a bank. The messages contain a link to a fake webpage that closely resembles a legitimate bank's website. Recipients are asked to update their information or activate a new app.

To protect yourself from scams, please follow these guidelines:

• Never respond to suspicious messages
• Pay attention to the URL
• Do not open links from suspicious messages
• Take the time to carefully read the contents of messages, as phishing messages often contain grammatical errors
• Please note that a reputable institution will not request users to disclose confidential information or submit documents via SMS, email, or social networks.

If your data is misused, you can report the incident via e-mail: kontakt@cirt.me or by filling out a form on the CIRT website: https://www.gov.me/cirt/prijavi-incident
