Only way hackers can indulge in online bank frauds across Europe is by using phishing technique through emails.

All around the globe phishing is frequently used to crack an online bank account. In phishing, hackers keep sending emails to everyone by following trial and error methodology because hackers themselves don’t know who uses which online account. For phishing, hackers make exactly same login page like all banks and they keep sending emails with links to the people and ask them to enter their details for security. This is how hackers crack an online bank account but in Europe such phishing does not work because each and every bank here educate their customers of all activities in which hackers indulge so that their online account remain safe.
