If you’ve ever gotten a suspicious email that looks official,
you may have been the target of a phishing scam. And you wouldn’t be alone;
hundreds of thousands of phishing attacks are reported every year. One of those
attacks centered on Capital Credit Union this past month. Some members of Capital Credit Union were sent
an email using Capital Credit Union’s logo, name, and phone number to convince
recipients they were legitimate. The fake email told members they needed to
click on a link and enter in their login information for their personal
account. Unfortunately, hackers can use this information to access their
account. With this in mind, we wanted to
remind people what they can do to prevent this from happening to them. We do
everything possible to keep our members’ personal information secure, but there
is something you can do as well.
Be very cautious of
emails asking you for personal information. If it sounds urgent and asks
for specific account information, you should be suspicious. We won’t ask you
for information that we already have on file, so it’s possible someone is
trying to steal your information. If you feel unsure about replying to any
email, call us at 920-433-0122.
Here are some examples of phishing emails:
