Beware of fake SMS and e-mails (phishing) claiming to come from PostFinance

Cybercriminals are sending fake e-mails and SMS messages that appear to come from PostFinance and contain the following messages:

  • You have to confirm some documentation
  • Security warning: suspicious activity has been detected on your card. Please confirm your identity in order to protect your account and keep your card active
