Tabnabbing Scam Targets the Internet Savvy

Tabnabbing Scam Targets the Internet Savvy

A new scam called tabnabbing targets people who bank online, even if it's just check your balance. Hackers target people who keep several pages open at once on their computer, and if you surf a hacked page, you take the hackers along with you when you switch to your other pages, like your banking site.

FOX 4 is working for you with three important tips from local security researcher, Cory Kennedy:
    
1.) Be aware of the tabs you have open. If you're going to go from Facebook to your banking website, either manually type in the new website or open a new session.    
    
2.) Check the website in the address bar.  Is it showing your bank's website address?  Or something else?  If you're not sure it's right, call your bank.
