In addition to Ransomware Trojans, e-mails also cause dangerous phishing attacks.
If you receive a supposed e-mail from the savings bank, be on your guard. Currently, a phishing mail, which announces a new security system, is circulating for the user to confirm their data. In times of Ransomware and other Trojans, phishing seems less dangerous and out of style. The current e-mail, however, contains tumbles that could speedily take care of your data, and even your account balances.
The phishing mail, which has been inspected by "Mimikama.at - Verein zur Aufklarung über Internetmissbrauch" (Phishing Mail), pretends to come from the savings bank. The responsible persons have missed the e-mail the official design of the savings bank and in addition to genuine names of potential victims also use a flawless German. A lack of spelling and grammar is one of the main features of phishing mail.
The user - in the most dangerous case, actually a savings bank customer - is to confirm his data after clicking on a link because the savings bank allegedly established a new security system. This was necessary because of a "persistent fraud wave". The latter is obviously not to be dismissed. However, a bank would not usually announce a new security system via e-mail. It is not necessary to verify their data online.
Lesetipp: Detecting phishing e-mails - this is how it works
This is the point where you should smell the roast at the latest. The approach is not that of a serious company. As Mimikama.at has verified, you end up on a website, which looks like the one of savings bank portals, after the click over a disguised link and forwarding. There you should give personal and sensitive bank data. You do not gain any more security - there is only a prey for the cybercriminals: your data
