ORIX ONLINE SECURITY
1. Beware of social engineering attack
Social engineering exploits aspects of human trust - to trick people into revealing sensitive personal or banking information.
Fraudsters contact their targets, usually via telephone, text or email (phishing), purporting to be individuals in positions of trust, such as representatives of utility companies, or even the police. Having gained their target's trust, they then request sensitive information or items (such as the online username and password) which allow them access to their target's online accounts.
2. Phishing email and fraudulent website

Please avoid visiting ORIX's or BYON’s website through hyperlinks embedded in suspicious emails or third party websites.
