Your tips are very useful to be safe from phishing attacks.

There is another safe way to avoid phishing in addition to your second point of your first tip “open a new tab, type the full secure URL of your bank (including the https:// and see whether your account was really stolen, as was claimed in the email.”

Instead of opening it in another tab, I use to open in another browser itself. That means, if mozilla firefox is my favorite browser and I’m using it to browse internet now, i will open that new address in internet explorer which is more safe. This can prevent even if that website load some java script or some thing to hack our stored password in our browser since we are using another browser.

I would like to hear comments on this from all of you. Thanks

It’s just crazy!

The sad part is that bad information easily spreads through forums. I’m glad you could finally get the right information!

Hello Herschel, thanks for the kind words. Like you I never knew tab nabbing existed. I got my account back, after having to verify it several ways. It was scary, but a strong warning of what NOT to do when browsing online.
