Getting Started - Security
Getting Started - Signing In
Fairfield County Bank will never send unsolicited emails asking you to
provide, update, or verify personal or confidential information via return
email. If you receive an email inquiry allegedly from us, please report the
incident to our Customer Care Center as quickly as possible at 877-431-7431.
To mitigate the risk of online fraud and identity theft, your first and best
protection is awareness.
Once you have enrolled as a New User or registered as a returning user, and
signed in to Online Banking at least once, follow these steps for subsequent
sign ins.
Phishing
Phishing is an online scam tactic that is used to lure users into unknowingly
provide personal data, such as credit card information or User IDs and
passwords. Using realistic-looking emails and websites, this tactic attempts
to gain the trust of unsuspecting targets and convince them that vital
information is being requested by a service provider they may already have a
relationship with, such as their financial institution.
1
Identity Theft
Identity theft can occur when criminals find a way to steal your personal
or other identifying information and assume the use of that data to access
your personal accounts, open new accounts, apply for credit, purchase
merchandise, and commit other crimes using your identity.

3
Clickjacking
Clickjacking is when a web-based attacker tricks a user into clicking on a
button or link on another web page when they were intending to click on
the top level web page. Thus, the attacker is “hijacking” clicks meant for the
original page and routing them to another web page, most likely owned by
another application, domain, or both. The risk is that a user can be led to
believe they are typing the password to log into their email or bank account,
but are instead typing into an invisible frame controlled by the attacker.

Fraud Prevention Tips
> Do not open email attachments or click on a link from unsolicited sources.
> Avoid completing email forms or messages that ask for personal or
financial information.
> Do not trust an email asking you to use a link for verification of login or
account details.
> Monitor your account transactions for unauthorized use.
> Shred old financial information, invoices, charge receipts, checks, unwanted
pre-approved credit offers and expired charge cards before disposing of them.
> Contact the sender by phone if you are suspicious of an email attachment.
> Users should download applications only from “official” and/or trusted stores
(e.g., Android Google Play, Apple App Store).
> Users are recommended to call 877-431-7431 and to disable their mobile and/
or online banking account if they feel their sensitive information has been
compromised.

access from the designated PC, and restrict access
to the internet for information searches, social
networking or other media. Trusted Access provides
our business banking clients a secure connection
while meeting the NACHA and FBI guidelines for
safe online banking without difficult installation or
operating requirements. Providing an additional
level of security to our customers is very important
