Phishing Scam
Phishing is a federal crime where the perpetrators send fraudulent and often authentic-looking e-mails in an attempt to trick recipients into revealing personal information such as account numbers, passwords and Social Security numbers. If this information is disclosed, the perpetrators use it to hijack the victim’s identity and commit fraudulent activity.
Hawaii National Bank does not send e-mails to its customers asking for personal information. Any such request should be viewed as highly suspicious, and recipients should not respond or click on any links that appear in such e-mail messages. Recipients of suspected bogus e-mail messages can forward them to abuse.hnb@hnbhawaii.com.
If you have responded to an e-mail you suspect is part of a phishing scam, please contact the Information Security department at Hawaii National Bank immediately so we can protect your account and your identity.
