Financial institutions in Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mississippi report being hit by “vishing” attacks. The attacks follow a series of attacks that have hit institutions from coast to coast since last fall. Vishing is a form of phishing, where instead of people receiving an email trying to lure them into giving personal information, the criminal uses a phone call, either live or automated, to attack the bank or credit union customer. The callers claim that the person’s credit card has been deactivated because of suspected fraud, then asks for the card number and PIN to fix the problem.”]
