Fraudsters are always coming up with new ways to steal personal information. One of the latest scams uses fake websites and phishing tactics to trick people into installing malware designed to steal usernames, passwords, and financial data.

At Falcon National Bank, your security is our priority. Here’s what you need to know.

How It Works

• Fraudsters set up fake websites (or compromise legitimate ones).
• You may encounter a pop-up that looks like a normal “Verify You Are Human” test (CAPTCHA).
• Instead of clicking a box, you’re instructed to type in a series of keyboard shortcuts like Win + R → CTRL + V → Enter.
• Following these instructions installs a malware program that gives criminals access to your sensitive information and device.

What You Can Do

• Don’t trust unexpected prompts. A legitimate CAPTCHA will never ask you to type special keystrokes.
• Keep your devices safe. Run regular antivirus and malware scans.
• Stay alert to unusual activity. Check your accounts and credit reports regularly.
• Ask if unsure. If something feels suspicious, it probably is.
