In these types of attacks, a cyber criminal may send you an official-looking e-mail purporting to be from a financial institution where you have an account. Alternatively, the cyber criminal uses sophisticated network attacks to re-route the connection to your financial institution to a phony Web site (all without your knowledge). So you open the e-mail, you log on to what you think is your bank's Web site while the cyber crook "takes" all your log-on information. This person-or ring of criminals-can now log on from anywhere pretending to be you and can wipe out your entire savings account in seconds.
To help you, there's a clever little device called the ID Vault. It's a smartcard-based hardware solution that protects consumers directly from online fraud and identity theft attacks. The solution combines a USB security device with GuardID Systems' Trusted Network of online financial institutions. The device lets consumers store all of their usernames and passwords accessible with a single PIN. The network currently includes over 6,000 financial institutions protecting users from online identity theft. It's monitored and updated daily and is directly coupled to the security hardware, so users will never inadvertently send their sign-in credentials to a pharming or phishing site.
