For the second time in as many weeks, criminals have tried to fraudulently obtain sensitive data from CIB Bank clients in an attempt to take money from their accounts, the bank announced yesterday.
The “phishing” scammers sent e-mails directing clients to a fake CIB site and asked for data on accessing their accounts, albeit in poor Hungarian.
No customers have reported any damage and neither the bank’s website nor its IT system was attacked, CIB underlined.
