Holiday Fraud Watch

During the upcoming Easter holiday, it is possible that fraudulent activity across electronic bank delivery channels such as HSBCnet will increase as online criminals attempt to exploit extended holiday periods within corporations and their banks.

During this time, please be extra vigilant in your online activity to ensure that you remain protected. If you experience one or more of the following events and consider that a fraudulent attack may be underway, please contact your local HSBCnet support team immediately via the Customer Support link in the HSBCnet logon box.

  • When logging in to HSBCnet, you are presented with a message saying that HSBCnet is unavailable AFTER you have entered your username and security credentials. Alternately, the error message might give a set time that HSBCnet will return e.g 15 minutes.
  • You are presented with a security check/verification screen that requires you to wait for 1-10 minutes.
  • You are prompted repeatedly to re-enter your username, password or security code.
  • You are asked to enter beneficiary account information that you don't recognise and does not relate back to an invoice.
  • You are presented with an error message referring to a 'synchronisation' problem asking you to enter the code generated by your Security Device.
  • You see any screens that you think are unusual or are missing information.

For further information on how to protect yourself from fraudulent attacks, please click on the Security Alerts and Tips link in the HSBCnet logon box.

Sincerely,

HSBCnet team
