Bank of America customers should be cautious because some fake emails have been circulating that are supposed to notify them of some illegal activity detected in their account.
According to Stop Malvertising, the messages inform recipients that their bank account has been restricted and that they should follow the steps in the attached file in order to regain full access.
The attached file is an HTML document containing elements from the real Bank of America website and a compromised website hosted at www.eetkroegmanu.be.
The form instructs victims to enter their name, contact information, date of birth, driver's license number, social security number, mother's maiden name, payment card details (including Pin), online ID, account password, and security questions.
The BoA has been used to obtain images, while the other has been used to host the stolen information. As you may have guessed, information collected by cybercriminals can be used for malicious purposes, including identity theft.
If you encounter such emails, delete them immediately. If you are a victim, change your passwords, contact your bank and monitor your account closely.
