SMiShing (SMS Text Phishing) is a type of fraud that has become widespread internationally. Taking advantage of the widespread use of mobile phones for sending and receiving messages, there has been an increasing trend of deception, cyber fraud, and attacks on personal information. In response, we provide the following warnings and recommendations.

1. Be cautious with messages received via phone – Carefully verify links and messages from unknown numbers before opening or responding. Only engage if you are confident about the sender.
2. Do not click on suspicious links – Avoid opening links from unknown or doubtful sources as this is an important step to protect your information.
3. Be careful when scanning QR codes – Even if the source seems trustworthy, always verify and confirm the destination address before proceeding.
4. Keep your device and applications updated regularly – Updates improve security and help prevent attacks.

The bank will never request you to provide confidential information such as your internet banking username or password. If you receive such a request, it is crucial to verify the authenticity of the sender’s official email address and phone number to protect yourself from potential risks.

Cybersecurity starts with your responsibility.
