    Hi J_A_F_A,

    Thank you for contacting us here on Boards.ie.

    Bank of Ireland is very committed to supporting and protecting customers against fraudulent activity. 

    We will never contact customers asking them to provide full personal log on details, full credit card numbers or full 3D secure passwords either over the phone or online.

    Bank of Ireland strongly urges any customer in receipt of suspicious correspondence (via email, SMS, phone) never to click on any link or provide full personal details as doing so may enable the download of malicious software that has the capacity to collect and compromise personal details and defraud bank accounts. 


    There are some other things you can do to protect yourself;
    ·        You should never disclose data over the internet unless you have satisfied yourself as to the security of the related technology/encryption.
    ·        Never reveal passwords to anyone. This includes online banking login information in particular, but also power-on/log-on/screensaver/internet account details.
    ·        One of the best ways to detect fraudulent activity quickly is by examining your account activity regularly. Monitor your accounts and credit card account and your list of online beneficiaries on a regular basis to ensure everything is in order. Check for suspicious money transfers, payments or unauthorised access.
     

    The Bank has provided a section on its website which gives advice to customers on security measures https://www.365online.com/online365/spring/security.

    Thanks,

    Tara C
