Good Info on How Zeus Trojan Horse Tries To Con Your Money
It was recently reported in the mainstream media that a malware known as the ‘Zeus’ virus is targeting e-banking consumers’ mobile phones and tablets causing the devices to be more vulnerable to financial data theft.
The new scam works in the following manner:
While the customer is accessing the bank’s website from a PC infected with the malware (virus), a pop-up notice is displayed requesting for the customer’s mobile phone details for various reasons.

Subsequently, in an attempt to get access to the PAC SMS, a SMS is sent to the customer’s mobile phone with a download link provided.

| An Invitation To Financial Loss |
The app shown below is fake. If it is found on your mobile phone, have it uninstalled immediately.

Please be reminded that Public Bank does not, and will never request for sensitive/confidential information from our customers online or via e-mail, letters and telephone calls/sms. The Bank has your personal information and mobile phone number when an account was opened with us.
