Clicking a malicious link in an email or text message requires immediate action to prevent financial loss.
Step 1: Disconnect
Immediately disconnect your device from the internet (turn off Wi-Fi or enable airplane mode) to stop any malware communicating with the attacker's server.
Step 2: Change Passwords
Using a different, secure device, immediately change the passwords for your email, banking, and main online accounts.
Step 3: Contact Your Bank
Call your bank using the number on the back of your card. Inform their fraud team that your device may be compromised.
