The original story is from last week, but worth noting again. The crooks pretended to be reps from Chase, calling to report an account compromise. If you get one of those, hang up and call the bank directly. The extra effort could be a life-saver.

@AAKL@infosec.exchange I had a similar incident happen several months ago. They had enough info to almost sound legit, plus the call showed up as if it were Chase. I told them I’d check into it, hung up and called the real Chase to verify. Phew!
