Caribbean Cyber Intelligence continues to emphasize cybersecurity awareness in light of major regional threats like banking phishing scams. The threat isn’t just theoretical – it’s real and immediate. The recent cloning of the First Citizens Bank (FCB) website, as identified by cybersecurity consultant Shivam Teelucksingh, exemplifies the active and dangerous nature of these scams. These attacks exploit public trust to steal credentials and drain accounts, emphasizing the need for strong digital vigilance across the Caribbean. The scams manifest in different forms including SMS alerts about fake account issues, WhatsApp banking impersonation, and broader phishing via email and social media. The impacts range from account takeovers and unauthorized transfers to identity theft and wider network compromise.
