Be careful for customers of Deutsche Bank, Targobank and ING: Fraudsters are grabbing data!

According to a report by www.derwesten.de, customers of Deutsche Bank, Targobank and ING are currently particularly at risk when it comes to phishing attacks. Fraudsters are looking to get personal information or access to customers' accounts. They use various methods to put their victims under pressure and force them to reveal their information.

It is important to educate customers that banks would never ask for sensitive information via email. Rather, they are fraudulent phishing emails that aim to steal personal information. Customers should therefore never click on links in such suspicious emails and, if in doubt, contact their bank's customer service to check the authenticity of the email.

Since the article does not provide specific figures on phishing attacks, it is difficult to calculate any concrete impact on the market or the financial industry. Nevertheless, it is clear that such fraud attempts can cause great damage to the affected banks and their customers. There is a risk of financial loss, data leakage and damage to the banks' reputation. It is therefore of utmost importance that customers are informed of such fraud attempts and that banks take measures to protect their customers.
