BOCHK warns against phishing website threat

The said site intends to steal customers’ sensitive data.

The Bank of China (Hong Kong) Limited (BOCHK) has warned its customers and the public about a fraudulent hyperlink embedded in a phishing website posing as an online trading platform.

The site features a login page aimed at stealing customers' sensitive information such as usernames, bank card numbers, and Internet Banking passwords.

“BOCHK declares that it has no connection with the fraudulent website,” the company said in a statement.

It assured that it has already reported the matter to the Hong Kong Monetary Authority and the Hong Kong Police Force.

The bank advised its customers to only access their BOCHK Internet Banking or Mobile Banking accounts by directly typing the official website address into their browser's address bar or by using the BOCHK Mobile Application from trusted sources.

“Customers should not access such accounts or provide personal information through hyperlinks, QR codes, or attachments embedded in e-mails or on websites,” it noted.
