Lock Down Your Bank Account After Fraud

    Even after the bank fixes things, the attacker may still have your login or your data.

    What to do

      • Reset your online banking password from a known-clean device — make it unique to that bank
      • Enable an authenticator-app or hardware-key 2FA (avoid SMS where possible)
      • Set transaction alerts and lower daily transfer / international payment limits
      • Turn on Confirmation of Payee / payee verification if your bank offers it
      • Monitor statements and credit reports for at least 30 days and keep all evidence for any reimbursement claim
