Quick tip of the day

Phishing and website hijacking are some of the primary ways criminals can get your information to carry out identity theft and bank fraud. To protect yourself, fraud prevention software should be your first line of defense. Tap or click here to see why Magecart attacks are so dangerous.

We recommend trying out Trusteer, a free cybersecurity extension from IBM. This browser extension is compatible with Windows and Mac on nearly all top browsers, including Chrome, Firefox, Edge and Safari.

Once installed, it adds a layer of defense beyond antivirus software and blocks phishing attempts, website redirects and malicious code from executing within your browser. Download and install this extension before you visit your bank’s website. You never know what might be lurking in the background.
