Local Maryland Bank Targeted by Phishing Attack

Yet another bank in the Washington, D.C., metro area has been hit with a phishing attack. The Bank of Glen Burnie in Maryland is urging consumers to be vigilant about an email phishing scam designed to look like an online expiration warning from the bank.

Bank customers were informed by an email their account would be deleted if they did not update it by July 2, 2010. They were urged to click on a link that directed them to another site looking exactly like The Bank of Glen Burnie’s login page. Customers were then asked to provide their username and password.

The Bank of Glen Burnie has not, and does not, ask for personal information in online communications, the bank announced.
