HKMA issues further scam alert across multiple banks

HKMA published a consolidated alert relaying multiple bank notices on fraudulent websites, phishing and impersonation activity.

Multiple HK banks reported concurrent fraud campaigns to HKMA, indicating broad-based attack patterns. Firms should treat this as elevated sector-wide fraud risk and ensure consistent customer education and reporting hygiene.

Multi-bank fraud activity signals coordinated threat actors and rising operational risk across HK retail channels.

Sector-wide alerts indicate systemic exposure and warrant escalation in fraud risk monitoring.

“The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) wishes to alert members of the public to the press releases issued by the banks listed below relating to fraudulent websites, internet banking login screens, phishing emails or other scams, which have been reported to the HKMA.”
