At Timo, we take pride in maintaining the confidentiality of customers’ information as well as the integrity in our financial activities. Over the past 2 years, Timo and it’s partner VPBank have invested heavily in updating it’s technology systems, tightening business processes and developing customer information security policies.
However, recently, we have noticed some phishing emails claiming to be secure messages sent from VPBank to some Timo customers instructing them to further secure their Credit cards, Debit cards and current accounts by providing card information using a website link. We’ve immediately worked with VP Bank to implement radical containment measures and continue to implement advanced measures to prevent similar incidents.
This does not affect the operation of Timo systems as well as customers’ transactions. So far, we have not received any reports about the effects of aforementioned phishing e-mails incident.
