To continue keeping your business and business accounts secure from fraudulent activity we are making you aware of a new scam that is being reported that involves ACH fraud. Other banks are reporting instances where a company receives an email that appears to be from one of their employees requesting to change the account number that they are receiving their direct deposit. The company makes the changes without verifying the employee, and the money is deposited into a scammers account.

Please remember that email addresses can be altered to appear that they are from an employee but have really come from a scammer. It is important to verify any change of account information with employee, or receiver of funds, anytime account information is being changed for ACH transfers. Also, signed authorizations need to be updated with the new account information.

Should you ever have questions about ACH rules or authorizations, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for trusting Security National Bank as your financial institution.

Securing New Devices

During the holidays, internet-connected devices also known as Internet of Things (IoT) are often popular gifts-such as smart TVs, watches, toys, phones, and tablets. This technology provides a level of convenience to our lives, but it requires that we share more information than ever. The security of this information, and the security of these devices is not always guaranteed. The National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center (NCCIC), part of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), recommends these important steps you should consider to make your Internet of Things more secure:

Use strong passwords. Some Internet-enabled devices are configured with default passwords to simplify setup. These default passwords are easily found online, so they don’t provide any protection. Choose strong passwords to help secure your device.

Evaluate your security settings. Most devices offer a variety of features that you can tailor to meet your needs and requirements. Enabling certain features to increase convenience or functionality may leave you more at risk. It is important to examine the settings, particularly security settings, and select options that meet your needs without putting you at increased risk.

Ensure you have up-to-date software. When manufactures become aware of vulnerabilities in their products, they often issue patches to fix the problem. Patches are software updates that fix a particular issue or vulnerability within your device’s software. Make sure to apply relevant patches as soon as possible to protect your devices.

Connect carefully. Once your device is connected to the Internet, it’s also connected to millions of other computers, which could allow attackers access to your device. Consider whether continuous connectivity to the Internet is needed.

Fake Check Scams

There are many variations of fraudulent check scams. One of the newest is a scam where fraudulent checks are being deposited through mobile deposit. In some cases, customers are being recruited to “work from home”, in others the customer is tricked into thinking they are receiving an online loan. Whatever the case is, the customer is being told that to receive their pay, they will need to provide their online/mobile banking username and password. Once the fraudster obtains the username and password, they login and deposit a fraudulent check. Many times, money is already spent before the check gets returned as fraud, so the customer stays owing the bank.

Customers should always be cautious of any type of offer that asks for an online banking username and/or password. If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
