NAB strongly recommends ensuring your computer has the latest operating system and anti-virus updates installed. More information is available on the Microsoft website.

We're aware of a number of telephone scams targeting NAB customers asking for their banking and personal details.
Fraudsters claiming to be from ‘NAB Security’ are contacting people by phone, saying they have cancelled the customer’s credit card and need their details to send out a replacement card.
In another scenario, the caller claims they're calling in order to verify a transaction being made overseas (e.g. to New Zealand) from the customer’s account. They ask the customer to provide personal and banking details to block the transaction.
These phone calls are fraudulent.
If you've received a telephone call of this type and have given out your details, please either contact your local branch or call the Customer Contact Centre on 13 22 65 immediately.
Customers are advised to not provide any personal or financial information in response to unsolicited phone calls.
We're aware of scammers using a well-known type of phone scam currently targeting Telstra customers. These scams are also known as ‘cold calling’, sometimes involving scammers pretending to be technology or IT support.
Scammers are contacting people at home, stating their internet may be disconnected as their computer has been hacked and is putting Telstra’s infrastructure at risk.
The scammers claim to be able to fix the issue on the spot, seeking a fee for the service. On top of the fee, scammers are insisting ‘software’ be downloaded to your computer giving them remote control access to your computer.
Please be advised these phone calls are fraudulent.
More information on this scam is available from the Stay Smart Online website.
If you've received a telephone call of this type and have given your details, please either contact your local Branch or call the Customer Contact Centre on 13 22 65, immediately. Customers are advised to not provide any personal or financial information in response to unsolicited phone calls.
