Warning to ESET credit and debit cardholders

The recent incidents of personal leaks σε κατόχους καρτών, ως αποτέλεσμα της επίθεσης κυβερνοεγκληματιών στην αμερικανική αλυσίδα καταστημάτων λιανεμπορίου Target, καταδεικνύουν ακόμη μία φορά το ζήτημα της of consumers making purchases with debit or credit cards. On the occasion of this event, ESET advise cardholders on how they can protect their accounts and their identity.

Check your account for suspicious activity, especially if you had made purchases the Νοεμβρίου – Δεκεμβρίου 2013, οπότε και παρατηρήθηκε έξαρση στα περιστατικά διαρροής. Να είστε σε επιφυλακή ακόμη κι αν δεν φανούν ύποπτες συναλλαγές στην κίνηση της κάρτας, καθώς οι κυβερνοεγκληματίες πολλές φορές διατηρούν τα στοιχεία και τα χρησιμοποιούν μόλις το θέμα ξεχαστεί από την επικαιρότητα.

Replace your debit / credit card in case you do not want to be constantly on the lookout and check it out. In case you have given your card an automatic payment order for some accounts, you will need to change the details.

Change it PIN of your debit card, καθώς οι κυβερνοεγκληματίες προσπαθούν διαρκώς να «σπάσουν» την κρυπτογράφηση και πολλοί καρτών δεν χρησιμοποιούν ισχυρά PIN. Για το πώς μπορείτε να βρείτε ένα ισχυρό PIN, μπορείτε να ακούσετε τις συμβουλές του ερευνητή της ESET Aryeh Goretsky here.

Regularly review your credit reports paying special attention to activities like new accounts in your name, for which you did not give a mandate. You can also create a fraud alert or freeze your credit for extra protection, however, taking into account that during this time, you must submit additional verification procedures for your data every time you use the card .

Change them passwords that you are using for online markets your, as all the fraud investigations in recent days have not been completed, any preventive protection measure will help you stay safe.

Be wary of scams, as in the event that card information is stolen, cybercriminals usually gain access to even more information, which they use by sending scam or e-mail. Be wary of links or emails that look suspicious and do not open them, but instead type the URL directly into your browser.
