Online Fraud Alerts

There are "phishing" e-mails currently in circulation targeting many financial services clients, including CIBC online services clients. CIBC wants to assure our customers that authorities are notified regarding messages targeted at our customers.

As some phishing sites have been known to distribute malicious software, we strongly recommend that you do not select the links provided in a phishing e-mail, as visiting these sites could place your computer at risk. We also recommend that you regularly check your deposit accounts and credit card statements to ensure that all transactions are legitimate.
