If you suspect something, report it

What to do if you receive a suspicious message that appears to be from Banco Santander

Cyber criminals use multiple techniques to steal our personal details and login details, such as our ID number, passwords, confirmation codes and OTP codes sent via SMS.

To this they use techniques such as phishing (via email), smishing (via SMS) o vishing (via a phone call), as well as different types of online fraud, such as social media scams.

If you don't have safe browsing habits it's also possible that you have downloaded malware designed to steal your banking information, such as a Trojan.

If you have fallen victim to one of these cyber attacks and you have given out your information or you notice suspicious activity on your accounts, call the Superlínea immediately so that we can minimise the consequences.
