Overview

• Consumer advocates report a fresh wave of emails posing as Targobank that urge recipients to update easyTAN to supposedly protect their accounts.
• The messages exhibit red flags including a generic greeting, a dubious sender address and a link leading to a fake online‑banking page.
• Observed details include the subject line "Dringend: Kontozugriff sichern Ref-ID#:" and a prominent "Zur Anmeldung" button inviting a login.
• The Verbraucherzentrale advises deleting or marking the email as spam, avoiding any data entry and checking account notices only through verified channels.
• easyTAN authorizes transactions within Targobank’s app, which scammers exploit as a convincing pretext, and current reports do not cite confirmed widespread losses.
