Protect Yourself From Phishing(Fishing) Attacks

To help protect yourself from phishing attacks, be sure to do the following:
  • Turn on Phishing Filter in Internet Explorer 7. 
  • Always look for a Lock icon when doing a financial transaction or giving personal information. 
  • Pay close attention to the Address bar and make sure you are at the right site. 
  • If you get an e-mail and you're not sure it came from your financial institution, call them to verify before following the instructions in the mail.
