The Commonwealth Bank of Australia has experienced an outage affecting a number of its services and although the CBA is resolving the issues they are warning that this is a time to be alert for scams appearing to come from the bank.

If you are a CBA customer you may recieve emails from the bank alerting you of the outage and how it may impact you and this may cause you to be vulerable to scams featuring the bank.

If you get any communication said to be from the bank asking for personal details do not respond and do not give over any information unless you are certain it is from the bank. If you use the CBA app on your phone you will have more protection and can contact the bank from the app. Do not click on any links or call phone numbers sent in emails or SMS messages or social media posts.
