Customers of Australia`s two largest banks have been targeted for phishing fraud, the Daily Mail reported. Bank customers should be vigilant when checking emails.
According to email security service MailGuard, the agency detected fraudulent emails against federal bank (CBA) and Australian National Bank (NAB) customers.
MailGuard first detected a fraud e-mail against a federal bank customer on 5 September.
In the latest scam, swindlers send emails to the bank`s customers. The beginning of the email will read: dear customer, you have an important security information from the (NetBank) security team of the online bank.
After that, the email will remind the customer to log on to the online bank (NetBank) through the accompanying link to view the information.

"this is a fake federal bank phishing page. Once the user enters login information, the personal information will be obtained by criminals.
