Comments:
  • Email asks you to confirm/update/verify your account data at HSBC by visiting the given link. You will be taken to a spoof website where your details will be captured for the phishers.


  • HSBC never send their users emails requesting personal details in this way.


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website is disguised as "https://Securityalert.HSBC.co.uk/1/2/".


  • The REAL URL of the spoof website looks nothing like the actual HSBC URL.
