This month I wanted to make you aware of an active attack that has recently been targeting banking clients, including HCN’s! Have You Heard About This Phone Spoofing Scam? Beware of a new, cunning tactic used by scammers – they are now impersonating a bank’s phone number to trick you into divulging sensitive information. Here's What You Need to Know: Scammers are using technology to make their phone number appear as if it's coming from your bank. During these calls, they may pose as bank representatives and ask for personal details, such as account numbers, passwords, or PINs. They might even create a sense of urgency or offer bogus services.
