Calls on behalf of a supposed NCSC employee
The NCSC has received reports of cases in which someone claiming to be an employee of the National Cyber Security Centre calls and asks to verify a supposedly suspicious bank transaction. The NCSC does not verify bank transactions and does not contact citizens unsolicited by telephone. Hang up immediately if you receive such a call and do not respond to any requests made by the fraudsters.

They even include a screenshot of their account balance as proof. Normally, you would be sceptical – but when you think the message comes from someone you know, you are more likely to trust it. That's exactly what the attackers are counting on. The latest Weekly Review explains how this scam works and why two-factor authentication (2FA) is essential.

Cyber resilience during major events and international conferences
