The FDIC also sent out an alert about the scam to all FDIC security officers. The e-mail claims that the financial institution is on a list of banks that are “failing” and that the FDIC is taking control of that institution’s assets. When recipients click on the fake FDIC website, they are prompted to enter sensitive information such as account numbers for checking and savings accounts. This latest alert comes after a similar phishing attack was reported against banking customers in late October, asking recipients to check the amount of insurance their bank had with FDIC’s Deposit Insurance Fund.”]
