How can I avoid such an attack on my internet banking?

You can help prevent CSRF attacks by:

1. Logging off every time you are finished with internet banking. You should also close the browser window to clean any tracking files.

   

2. While using the internet banking, you should avoid opening other websites simultaneously and open a new browser window – if you are visiting other websites, please use a different browser window than you use for your iBanking session.

   

   

What is CSRF?

CRSF is a malicious type of website whereby unseen and unauthorized commands are transmitted from a user that a website, such as internet banking, thinks it knows and trusts.

When opening a website, commands operate in the background that may not be visible on the screen. If you use internet banking and other websites at the same time, you are at risk of unauthorised commands operating on your internet banking account, sending requests to criminals to transfer funds out of your account.
