Description
On the morning of July 31, criminals altered a link on the Personal Banking page of NorthForkBank.com that was designed to take visitors to the My NFB Online sign-on page and redirected them to a counterfeit website. The counterfeit website requested sensitive customer information, although it appears that the counterfeit website may not have functioned as intended. The altered link was identified and repaired within three hours and the hacker's access was terminated.
