Stay alert and avoid scammers
With COVID-19 making headlines daily, hackers and scammers are now using this potential public health crisis as an opportunity to take advantage of unsuspecting businesses and consumers.
- Fraudulent emails claiming to be from official WHO and CDC representatives have been directing unsuspecting recipients to harmful websites that load malware or other harmful applications, under the ruse of offering important pandemic information. The WHO and CDC have issued alert warnings.
- The best practice for avoiding these and other email scams and hackers is to not click on any links in emails you were not expecting or you did not request. Simply IGNORE and DELETE these emails.
- If you suspect you have clicked on a malicious link, change your secure information immediately and send us a secure message using Messenger in Online or Mobile Banking, or give us a call at (617) 439-6500.
