See this press release of the ABN AMRO Press Room to find out that this week's phishings expedition resulted in 4 people activating a virus and allowing a man-in-the-middle attack. Criminals immediately exploited the vulnerabilities by executing urgent transfers. ABN AMRO immediately compensated these four customers and have now taken the urgent-payment-transfer offline. Furthermore ABN AMRO intensifies its customer awareness programme with five rules:
1- check the lock and the ABN AMRO certificate,
2- always check the actual payments via the PC
3- never open e-mails from someone you don't know
4- only install software from trusted sources
5- protect your pc with a virus-scanner and a firewall.
Let's hope this helps.
