How do fraudsters attack you?

 

Don't fall into the trap. With the Coronavirus crisis, the risks are increasing.

Pirates and fraudsters are ready to exploit any dramatic event (tsunami, terrorist attack, pandemic, financial problems...) to trap you.

We all receive malicious e-mails (phishing) that appeal to our emotions, our sense of civic responsibility or simply our curiosity. These emails invite us to perform a specific action with the aim of :

  • steal personal information
  • open or execute a corrupted file or infected attachment
  • send identity documents
  • to log in urgently with login and password on a fake site reminiscent of Anytime.

 

What subjects are hackers exploiting?

  • Granting credit,
  • Reimbursement of VAT, taxes, URSSAF, RSI, ASSEDIC, Social Security...
  • Fake computer procedure to connect remotely to your computer (teleworking),
  • Call for donations,

These attacks can also be distributed via SMS (SMSishing) or mobile applications.

Focus on phishing threats

Hackers systematically use tragic news events to try and trick their victims. Malicious e-mails are on the increase. The coronavirus epidemic is no exception. Whether in your professional or personal life, you can be the target of numerous scams: fake remote connection procedures, calls for donations, enticing proposals for loans of all kinds... How can you avoid the pitfalls of phishing?

 

What is phishing?

Phishing is a technique used to obtain personal information from you. The criminal poses as a trusted third party to try to obtain information from you, such as photocopies of your identity documents, proof of address, passwords and credit card numbers.

 

How does it work?

Hackers have well-thought-out scenarios for achieving their goals. They will appeal to our emotions, our sense of civic responsibility or simply our curiosity. You receive an e-mail inviting you to perform a very specific action with the aim of stealing your personal information: open or execute a corrupted file or infected attachment, send documents relating to your identity, connect urgently with your login and password on a site...

Let's imagine a simple example. You receive an e-mail from Anytime with a proposal for an exceptional loan in response to the difficulties encountered by entrepreneurs as a result of the Coronavirus. For this, you are asked to provide your personal documents (ID, proof of address, KBis extract, etc.) and to pay a deposit on a RIB. In fact, this is a fraudster who, in addition to recovering your money, can use your documents to open bank accounts in your name.

You may also be asked to pay an overdue bill quickly, and the e-mail will send you to a "mirror site", i.e. a website designed to make you think you're logging on to the official website. You enter your login and password on the fake site: the criminal can then connect to the official site with your credentials to commit his misdeeds without any problems.

 

What measures does Anytime take?

Your security is our top priority. We are always looking for additional measures to protect you against scam attempts.

  • To combat identity theft, we're replacing the traditional selfie with a video call to an agent who will check the ID and the holder.
  • Strong DSP2 authentication to connect to your Anytime customer area (fingerprint identification, SMS token...)
  • Change your mobile number. An Anytime agent calls you back to verify your identity
  • Single-use virtual cards. A card dedicated to a single purchase, reducing the risk of credit card fraud.
  • You can block the functions of your bank card at any time

 

Every day, the Anytime teams optimize the security of your bank account. But you also need to be vigilant and cautious. Follow the advice given on this page and you should stay safe from scams.
