ONLINE BANKING - Krone Credit Bank AG

Understand how criminals use the internet
Criminals are in it for the money. There are many ways for them to make money online:
Steal your passwords and bank details with viruses, fake emails and fake websites
Ask you to provide security details
Send spam with bogus offers and products
Take over your computer and use it to attack other people's computers
Use viruses to display unwanted adverts on your PC
We take your online banking security and privacy very seriously. Protecting yourself and your money takes a bit of know-how and the right software.
Protect your mobile phone
Your mobile phone may contain personal information. You may even use it for internet banking and online shopping.
For example, they might send you an email that looks like it comes from us and it might contain a link to a website that looks like this one. When you try to log on, they can steal your password. They could also ask you to make a phone call or reply by email.
You may want to think about:
Setting and using a security PIN code
Adjusting the phone settings so that it locks automatically if you don't use it for five or ten minutes
Not storing passwords or other sensitive information on your phone in a way that can be understood by someone else
Not storing your home phone number and address under ‘home’ in the contact list (you wouldn't want a thief to be able to know your address and be able to check if you're home)
Be wary of voicemail and text message scams
Clicking on links in text messages can be risky - be careful
If you lose your phone report it to your mobile phone provider immediately. Make a note of your phone's IMEI number (dial *#06# to get it). This will make it easier for your phone company to disable a stolen phone.
Avoid using online banking, sending e-mails, social networking or making purchases on public Wi-Fi or internet café / public library computers. Cyber-criminals can set up fake Wi-Fi hotspots that appear to be legitimate. Once you have logged on to the Wi-Fi, your activity can be tracked by the cyber-criminal.
Public computers often do not have adequate protection installed to prevent malware, key loggers and other malicious software that may record your log on details including your password. Avoid saving your personal information (such as usernames or account details) as it could be accessed by others in subsequent visits.
