Halifax | Message from Halifax Online

Well here's a (fake) claim that Halifax have received security complaints and are taking actions. Of course, the whole point is to breach your security, not protect you.

The URL the link points to is http://toroon12-1168099092.sdsl.bell.ca/halifax-online.co.uk/_mem_bin/halifax_LogIn/formslogin.aspsource=halifaxcouk/

Presumably this means the security on bell.ca has been breached! No doubt that will get quickly plugged!

Here's the content of the email.

Dear Customer
