Key Points

  • Always type your bank’s URL directly — never click links in emails claiming to be your bank

  • Never bank on public Wi-Fi without McAfee VPN activated
  • McAfee Web Protection: blocks malicious sites that mimic UK banking portals
  • Keep McAfee updated: new banking trojans are added to McAfee’s database daily
  • Enable banking notifications: your bank’s app alerts for every transaction — spot fraud immediately
  • Phishing red flags: urgency (‘your account is suspended’), requests to verify details by clicking a link
