PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!

Our Internet Banking Service Provider has received an increased number of reported phishing attempts targeting the Internet Banking solution. The phishing has had these tendencies:
• The login process is modified by adding a Web page stating that computer cannot be identified, and that the user is required to enter credit card information to continue.
• The page that requests the user data does appear to originate from our Internet Banking site with the correct URL and certificate information. However, this page is generated by malware installed on the local computer and not from the Internet Banking site. Fiserv’s Internet Banking servers remain secure.
• This malware was most likely installed from an opened e-mail attachment or a compromised website viewed on the infected computers of your bank customers using Internet Banking.

Internet Banking WILL NOT ask customers to enter personal or account info during the login process.  DO NOT enter sensitive information if prompted.  All computers accessing Internet Banking should have anti-virus and anti-malware installed.

Possible Phishing or Spear Phishing Attacks
Because of this data breach, we encourage you to warn your customers to be wary of phishing or spear phishing emails. Once scammers know their victims’ names and email addresses, along with the companies the customers do business with, the scammers can craft very targeted email attacks that attempt to trick victims into revealing more sensitive information (for example: passwords or account numbers). Phishing and spear phishing are defined below.

• Phishing – This fraud scheme refers to emails sent to your cardholders by fraudsters known as “phishers.” This fraud is designed to trick cardholders into providing personal banking information. Phishers attempt fraudulent transactions when they have the basic personal identity or account information that a cardholder provided to them through a fraudulent email.

• Spear phishing – This is an email-spoofing fraud attempt that targets a specific person by name, seeking to gain confidential data. As with the email messages used in regular phishing, spear phishing messages appear to come from a trusted source.

Beware of Smishing

In computing, Smishing is a form of criminal activity using social engineering techniques similar to phishing. The name is derived from "SMs phISHING". SMS (Short Message Service) is the technology used for text messages on cell phones.  Similar to phishing, smishing uses cell phone text messages to deliver the "bait" to get you to divulge your personal information. The "hook" (the method used to actually "capture" your information) in the text message may be a web site URL, however it has become more common to see a phone number that connects to automated voice response system.  Templeton Savings Bank will not send you any text messages on your cell phone.
