Pekao warns customers. Throw it in the trash immediately
Pekao with a message that applies to every customer
Cybercriminals impersonate Bank Pekao SA and send fake e-mails. The goal of their attack is to trick the recipient into opening the attached file. One click is enough for their elaborate plan to succeed and achieve what they want. This attachment contains malicious software that is able to steal various types of data from the device.
Confirmation of the transaction
Very often the email is titled this way. It looks almost identical to an official letter from the bank, but only the sender’s Internet address reveals it. In this case, the email was sent from the address (email protected). To make the impression even more professional, the email is often written in two languages - Polish and English.
- Do not open suspicious messages or attachments. Even if they give the impression that the bank sent them.
- If you receive such a message, contact the hotline yourself bank and explain the matter.
However, if you have opened a suspicious attachment, block the card as soon as possible and block access to electronic banking. You can do it quickly and efficiently on the Pekao24 website or in the PeoPay application. Then, contact the bank’s hotline and share the details of the entire incident with the bank employee.
