Go easy on posting your personal details online in this day and age when scammers prowl the digital space to steal bank credentials.
This was the warning of Bank of the Philippine Islands (BPI) in a statement issued on Thursday, to mark the global “CyberSecurity Awareness Month” this October.
From a national effort that began in the United States in October 2003, CyberSecurity Awareness Month is now a worldwide activity.
BPI, Southeast Asia’s oldest bank, provided tips on how bank account holders can protect themselves from cybercriminals as digital transactions become the norm during the COVID-19 pandemic.

First: “Do not overshare,” BPI said. “Whether on social media or in person, never share sensitive information and bank credentials with anyone.”
In social media platforms, such as Facebook, some people tend to “overshare,” even posting documents with sensitive personal data, such as passports or visas, when announcing overseas trips, or even vaccination cards.
