Attention - Known phishing attack targeting UK banks.
Phishing is where a fraudster emails a client pretending to be from Barclays or another trusted source. We are aware that highly organised criminals have been emailing clients purporting to be from Barclays requesting attachments to be opened. By doing this they are able to download malicious software and gain access to your PC to steal information, download a virus or attempt to make payments.
Remember - Be aware of unsolicited emails - Do not click on links or open attachments from senders you are unsure of. Also ensure you have Anti-virus protection installed on your computer/mobile.
If you've received a suspicious email that claims to be from us, please forward it to internetsecurity@barclays.co.uk and then delete the email immediately.
For further information of fraud types, please view our security videos.
Important Fraud Alert - Fraudsters impersonating Barclays are targeting Barclays online banking users.
We have been made aware of fraudsters calling clients, pretending to be from Barclays, advising that their accounts or systems may have been compromised and that they need to move money from their account/s. Variations of the conversation include moving money to 'test accounts' or 'cloud accounts' to 'protect it'.
This is a scam. Barclays will never call you to move money to other accounts. Barclays will also never call and ask you for remote access to your computer unless you have initiated the request. Fraudsters can also manipulate caller ID software so that it displays a genuine looking number in order to convince you they are calling from Barclays or whichever company they are impersonating.
Please remain vigilant and make other users aware. If you receive such a call, please hang up and contact us on +44(0)1624 684448 For more information, please watch our Vishing fraud awareness video.

We strongly recommend (where possible) that you use minimum dual approval for payments and administration changes (minimum one user to input, one user to approve).
We also recommend that the input and approval actions are undertaken by users on different computers/devices. This will help with the prevention of internal and external fraud cases.
Important Security Update
We understand that a number of our customers are receiving fraudulent emails purporting to come from a Barclays email account. These emails contain attachments that are used to install a Trojan to provide a hacker access your computer, and refer to a successful transaction. If you have received this email, please delete immediately without opening. If you have inadvertently opened the email and its attachments, the PC should not be used at all and disconnected from any network immediately. You should seek professional assistance in having the PC completely formatted and re-built to fully ensure that the malware has been removed from the PC.
