Cybersecurity is Important

How to Protect Against Cyberattacks?

Data Privacy

  • Under no circumstances should you share your personal or banking information with unreliable sources or third parties.
  • When communicating with the bank, share confidential information only through official channels, such as the bank's official website or mobile application.
  • Ensure that the personal information you share with the bank is accurate and up-to-date. Regularly update this information as needed.

Information Security on Social Media

  • Never share personal or banking information on social media platforms.
  • Use strong and unique passwords for your social media accounts. Avoid using the same password for multiple accounts.
  • Refrain from clicking on suspicious links shared on social media, as they may be related to cyber fraud or phishing attacks.

Information Security During Electronic Payments

  • Always verify that electronic payment sites are protected with an SSL/TLS certificate (look for "https://" or a lock icon in the address bar).
  • Use two-factor authentication (2FA) methods for additional security.
  • If you detect any suspicious activity in your electronic payment accounts, report it to the bank immediately.

Protection Methods Against Social Engineering

  • Be cautious with calls and messages from unknown individuals, and never share your personal information with them.
  • Before responding to suspicious information requests, verify whether the person is genuinely a bank representative.
  • Educate yourself about social engineering attacks and stay informed about their signs, as this knowledge is always an advantage.
  • Regularly monitor your bank accounts and immediately contact the bank if any suspicious activity is detected.
  • Finally, it is recommended to use only official bank applications and payment systems for added security.
