An important change for Bank Millenium customers from December 13. There is a message

Currently, Millenium customers log in to the electronic banking website via this address:

https://www.bankmillennium.pl/osobiste2/retail/login/

However, starting from December 13, it will change and will look as follows:

https://login.bankmillennium.pl/retail/login

The bank emphasizes that the introduced change will not immediately apply to all users.

The new login page is being rolled out to customers gradually. Each group of customers who switches receives an announcement of the change along with the switching date. We will inform all bank customers about the change in separate messages on the home page

– explains Krzysztof Kurek, PR expert at Bank Millenium in an interview with TVN24.

Changes for Millenium Bank customers. What about MilleKod and passwords?

At the same time, in a statement, Bank Millenium informed that the existing login details to the electronic banking website will not change. To log in to your account, you must still enter the 8-digit MilleKod, Password 1, and then verify yourself by entering two characters of the identifier we use (e.g. PESEL number).

The bank also warned customers that it informs about the change of the Millenet banking login address only through its official communication channels. Millenium does not send any e-mails or text messages in this matter.

This is an extremely important caveat. It is very easy to imagine a scenario in which cybercriminals use the changes introduced by the bank to conduct phishing campaigns targeting Millenium customers.

The best and safest way to log in to our account is to launch the bank’s home page and then use the login button, which will redirect us to the new Millenet website with a refreshed layout.

Phishing takes its toll. How not to be deceived?

Phishing is a method of fraud that involves impersonating a known person, company, organization or institution. The goal of fraudsters is to gain the trust of a potential victim and force him or her to provide, for example, personal data, account password or credit card number.

Phishing campaigns are usually massive. Fraudsters send identical e-mails or text messages to thousands of people, hoping that at least a small part of them is waiting for a parcel from an online store or using the bank they are trying to impersonate.

So how can you protect yourself against phishing? First of all, use the Internet wisely. Before we click on any link received by e-mail or SMS, it is better to make sure which website it actually leads to. A crafted website is usually embedded in a foreign domain or its address is different from the address of the original bank or website.

But what if we have inadvertently fallen into the trap of phishing? In the case of a website pretending to be a bank, you should immediately contact your bank directly (by phone or in person) and request a block on the account. If we react quickly, there is a good chance that we will anticipate the actions of criminals.
