- Be wary of unsolicited emails, phone calls, or text messages requesting personal information.
- Never click on links or open attachments in suspicious emails or messages.
- Use strong passwords and change them regularly.
- Enable two-factor authentication on all financial accounts.
- Monitor your financial accounts regularly for any unauthorized activity.
Macquarie Bank also encourages its clients to report any suspicious activity to the bank immediately. The bank has set up a dedicated hotline for this purpose: 1800 999 340.
