    If you can't rule phishing out within an hour, treat it as confirmed and rotate credentials anyway.

    What to do

      • Change the bank password and your primary email password from a clean device
      • Sign out of all sessions on email, bank app and any account that shares the bank password
      • Cancel and reissue the card if you ever entered details on a suspicious page
      • Run a malware scan on the device you bank from before logging back in
