U.S. Bank customers are asked to look out for phishing SMS text messages that claim their Visa card payments failed and they need to click on a link to unblock their cards. The phishing or fake text messages, sent by cybercriminals, have links that go to a phishing USBank website that steals the credentials, or usernames and passwords of USBank customers. Once the cyber-criminals who sent the fake messages have gotten the stolen information, they will use it to gain access to their potential victims' USBank accounts and use the accounts fraudulently.
