In the current digital environment, there is a growing risk of account takeover fraud. This type of cybercrime occurs when an unauthorized person gains access to an individual's account to steal money, personal identity, or sensitive data.
Banco G&T Continental has issued five main recommendations for customers to help protect their accounts. The bank advises changing passwords regularly and choosing unique combinations that are hard to guess, avoiding common words or dates. It also suggests using password managers for secure storage.
The institution warns against entering personal information through suspicious links received by email or message, as criminals often create fake websites that mimic legitimate ones. Customers should always use official channels when accessing banking services.
Another tip is not to share verification codes sent via SMS or email, as these are private and temporary. Sharing them could allow unauthorized access to accounts.
Enabling banking notifications can help monitor transactions in real time and quickly identify any unusual activity. If customers notice anything unfamiliar on their accounts, they are encouraged to act immediately.
Finally, Banco G&T Continental urges users to contact the bank directly if they detect any suspicious messages, transactions, or login attempts, using only official communication channels and never responding to unsolicited requests for personal data.
"At Banco GyT Continental, your security is our priority."
The bank emphasizes that following these guidelines is essential for protecting both information and peace of mind.
