Data breaches and your banking
How you can keep yourself and your banking safe before, or after there’s been a data breach within another organisation. Data breaches can have an impact on your banking security as that can mean your personal information may have fallen into the hands of scammers.

Identifying legitimate calls about a data breach
If someone calls you about a data breach, be careful about what information you give them as it may be a hoax or an attempt to gain your personal information, which could then be used to commit fraud. Warning signs include the caller saying they’re from a bank but they ask you for information they should already have, or they ask you to transfer money, or download something. If you’re suspicious, end the call and contact the relevant company using the phone number listed on their website.
