Bank hack attack: What you should do
With the FBI investigating a cyberattack that hit at least five banks, including
JPMorgan Chase, many consumers are wondering what
they can do to protect themselves if their accounts have been compromised.
Here are some steps to take:
Don't be taken phishing
Banks and other financial institutions do not send e-mails asking customers to input their account information, verify account data or update their records.
Such e-mails are known as "phishing attacks" because the hackers are fishing for information they can use to enter a network and steal information.
