Cyberattacks on banks happen too frequently. Thankfully, most banks are; well protected against hackers,and the threat of a cyberattack should not deter you from using a financial institution.

Signs your bank account has been; hacked

Keep a close eye on these warning signs that your hacked account could be compromised:

Strange purchases: Seeing activity that is out of the ordinary may be the first clue that a hacker has infiltrated your account. Watch for transactions made in locations where you have not been.

Unfamiliar transactions: Sometimes you will notice small yet unfamiliar purchases. Thieves often do that to test if your card will work before making larger ones.

Blocked logi: If a hacker accesses your account from an unfamiliar location or tries your password too many times, your account may block you from logging in.

Phone call from your bank: If your account is compromised, your bank may call to notify you of the recent breach. However, it is essential that you don’t provide the caller with any personal information.

Closed or emptied account: In more extreme cases, you may find that your bank account has been; emptied or closed altogether.

Denied car: If your account is compromised, your account could be emptied or your card could be frozen by your bank, leading to denied transactions.

If you believe your account has been hacked, there are a few important steps you should take:

View and verify account activity: First, go through your account activity to confirm any fraudulent charges. Some legitimate transactions may seem fraudulent if the company does business under a different name.

Call your bank: Once you have confirmed that your account has been; hacked, call your bank to report the fraud. They can help you solve the issue and possibly return funds to your account.

Freeze your account: If possible, freeze your bank account online, on the app or by speaking with customer service.

Change your pins and passwords: Change your bank account pin to something entirely different and secure. Also, consider changing the passwords to your online banking account, email and other online accounts — and try not to use the same password.

Check your credit history: If your bank account is hacked, it is possible that the hacker tried to open a credit card in your name. Speak with your bank to find out if they can check your credit history for free.

File a police report: Finally, consider filing a police report. It is unlikely that you will have any information on the person who hacked you, but reports from multiple victims could increase the chances of the thief being caught.
