Computer fraudsters have targeted the Bank of Bermuda again -and customers who bank online are being warned to be on their guard. The bogus e-mail, which appeared in customers' inboxes, said in part: "Due to upgrade on our systems, we encountered problems with your account. However, you will be unable to presently not connect to your online account. "This was due to errors in your agreement that made us lose some of your registration data, which you provided during your signup."
Customers were directed to a link where they were to update their registration details. COO Michael Collins said in a release: "Bank of Bermuda is aware that some of our customers have received a fraudulent email asking them to log on to a fraudulent web site and provide personal financial information.
"The public should note that phishing e-mails along with other fraudulent emails are constantly circulating. In this instance, the bank acted immediately and we are working with the appropriate security authorities in disabling the site.
