Phishing attacks are often made through a fraudulent email or SMS. Their goal is to get the victim to open an attachment or click on a link that leads to a fake website. Fraudsters use these methods to install malware or steal personal information, such as login data, credit card information, or social security numbers, in order to gain access to bank accounts and other accounts.
How to protect yourself:
Do not respond to such emails, and do not open any attachment from an unknown sender.
Credit Suisse never requests your account or credit card information via email or SMS.
If you receive a suspicious email that references Credit Suisse, please report it immediately to security@credit-suisse.com.
