ONLINE FRAUD
MALWARE
What is a Trojan?
A Trojan is a software program that claims to do something useful but is actually malicious. Some banking malware is referred to as banking Trojans.
What can a Trojan do?
Some of the more sophisticated Trojans are called man-in-the-browser Trojans. These Trojans once installed wait for the user to enter their Online Banking session.
Once this event occurs these Trojans use html injection (a special technique to add fields to the webpage) to request confidential information from users. For example, when the user logs in they may be prompted for an additional field such as a card number and PIN. However, this request is from the Trojan and not the bank, but the user is not aware of this.
More sophisticated Trojans of this nature can "bank" whilst you bank, creating additional payments during your banking session and preventing you from seeing any of the activity in the browser.
What have you learnt?
Once again users are generally tricked into installing these Trojans.
Don't just download and run programs. Keep your antivirus up to date and run frequent scans using both the native antivirus as well as Webroot® which is provided free of charge to all Online Banking users.

ONLINE FRAUD
WHEN ONLINE
DO
Always type in the URL: https://www.rmb.co.zaMemorise your username and password, never write it down or share it with anyone, not even with a bank official.
Choose an unusual username and password that are hard to guess and change them often.
Make sure your username and password cannot be seen when you enter them (shoulder surfing).
Inform the bank should your cellphone number change so that your cellphone notification contact number is updated on its systems.
If reception on your cellphone is lost, check what the problem could be immediately as you could have been the victim of an illegal SIM swop on your number. If confirmed, notify your bank immediately.
Only make purchases with your card on reputable websites with addresses that starts with https:// and look for the lock image on the toolbar.
Install a spam blocker on your system. This will ensure that fraudsters find it difficult to send you phishing e-mails.
DONT
Do not access the bank's website via Google search as it might lead you to a spoofed site.
Do not use web links that are saved under your favorites.
Don't use internet cafes or unsecure terminals (hotels, conference centers, etc.) to do your banking.
Never open suspicious or unfamiliar emails or attachments as these often contain harmful programs.
Never allow any website of a merchant to save your personal and banking details.
When the option presents itself, always remember to select 'No'.
