I like to swim "online banking", sitting in the home and can query personal accounts, pay the phone bill, conduct foreign exchange trading, especially the holidays can easily shop online. However, experts remind, "online banking thief" cloning website incident has occurred multiple times, and it is easy to reope with the shutdown, consumers should improve the protection awareness, preferably do not use the account withdrawal password when shopping online.
He Yiyong, General Manager of the Electronics Bank of Guangdong Branch of China, unveiled the veil of "online banking thief" to the reporter. One is a fake bank website, allowing users to enter account and password on the counterfeit webpage, defraud customer information. In December 2004, the Bank of China was discovered. Subsequently, the fake Chinese Industrial and Commercial Bank, the fake UnionPay, the fake agricultural bank's website is also exposed. Although these counterfeit websites have subsequently shut down, but since making a new counterfeit website does not require high technology and a lot of costs, the fake bank website will still appear again. Citizens use online banking to remember the URL of their own banks to prevent the criminals that can take the opportunity.
It is understood that counterfeit bank website domain names are very similar to the true URL of the bank. For example, the domain name of counterfeiting China is www.bank-off-china.com, which is more than one English letter f in the middle than the real Bank of China website domain www.bank-of-of-china.com.
