No Core Bank websites, online banking services, or customer accounts are affected. We’re sharing this information to help you determine whether your website or business may be impacted.
What is happening?
A security concern has been discovered in software used by many websites. This software is called PHP.
If a website has not been updated, hackers may be able to access the website or view information they should not see.
What should you do if you own a website?
If you have a personal or business website, there are a few simple steps you can take to help keep it safe.
Most people have someone else manage their website. If that is the case, contact your website company or the person who built your site and ask:
- Does my website use PHP software?
- Is my website up to date with the latest security protection?
- Is there anything I need to do?
If you manage your own website, make sure you have a backup copy before making updates. Your website hosting company can help you if needed.
What should you watch for?
Pay attention to anything unusual on your website, such as:
- Information or pictures you did not add.
- Pages that look different or are missing.
- Your website suddenly not working.
If you notice anything unusual, contact your website company right away.
What if you do not own a website?
You do not need to take any action.
This particular security concern is about website software. It does not directly affect your personal phone, computer, or Core Bank accounts.
However, always be careful of unexpected emails, phone calls, or text messages asking you to click a link or provide personal information.
Remember: Never share your passwords or banking information with someone who contacts you unexpectedly.
If you have questions about your website, contact the company or person who manages it. They can help you determine whether any updates are needed.
