Let us tell you that phishing is a general term used for e-mails, text messages as well as fake websites sent by fraudsters to customers. They are designed in such a way that they appear to have come from well-known and trusted businesses, financial institutions and government agencies.

Through this, the intention of criminals is to collect personal, financial and sensitive information. You can report suspicious emails coming in the name of SBI at report.phishing@sbi.co.in .

phishing attack method

•  Phishing attacks use both social engineering and technology to steal data related to personal details of customers and financial information related to accounts.
•  The customer receives a fake e-mail, in which the Internet address appears to be real.
• In the e-mail, the customers are asked to click on a hyperlink provided in the mail.
• On clicking the hyperlink, it takes the customer to a fake website which looks like the original.
• Generally, these e-mails promise to reward for obeying their words or warn of penalty for not obeying.
• Customers are asked to update their personal information like password, credit card and bank account number etc.
•  The customer trusts and gives his personal details and clicks on the “Submit” button.
•  Suddenly he sees the error page and thus the customers become a victim of phishing.
