NatWest Bank: account confirmation!

The phishing emails are coming through thick and fast the past couple of days after a quiet period! This one targets NatWest customers and requests that you start to regularly update your security details. Do the phishers think we'll believe that NatWest periodically forget our security details? I don't think so!

The target site is www.greatkenny.com, which is blocked by Firefox. So well worth downloading the free version of that browser (see link on the right) for your own protection there. If you are using Firefox and tried to use the link, there would be no way you would miss that it's not the real site.

Here's the email:
