Punjab National Bank Users Beware of this email

Today for my email account  [email protected], I received two emails from this domain “netpnb.co.in” with a subject “PNB- Your e-mail address has been successfully updated” and asked for my net banking details, stating that some one has changed my email account attached to PNB Bank and they sent  attached a email reset form and asked to use that one.

Immediately I thought someone comprised my net bank account, but my inner sense told me to read that email clearly, so I went to known the origin of email and found that it is from fraudulent domain netpnb.co.in, but actually the real domain of Punjab National Bank for net Banking is Netpnb.com and another funny thing I noticed is, there is a lot of typos in that email. I read it some where that this is one of the identification of phishing emails.

The email reset form looked same as the PNB net banking form, but at same time it asked account password and Transaction password and the clever reset form is loaded with on-screen keylogger which even disabled Zemana Antilogger and this means what ever I type will be recorded and will be sent to those online crooks.

Another check is, I typed some details in that form and clicked “submit” button, Immediately it went to Pnbindia.in, which is another fake PNB domain and which completely looks like the real Bank domain.In tech terms it is called email phishing.

So I went to contact PNB toll free number 1800 180 222 (yeah free service, it sucks) and I received a number busy message for about half an hour. So I contacted the paid number “011-23708151 / 23716659” and reported this phishing attack. Alternatively I forwarded this email to [email protected] and asked them to take down that site.

Note: No Bank in India will send an email to you about your account password rest or Transaction password reset details. If you got these kind of details read the email twice and call your Bank Customer care.

So PNB users beware of these domains:
1.netpnb.co.in
2.www.pnbindia.in
