ISSUE 2. 2020 19 INTRODUCING UTAH.BANK E mail and cybersecurity are criti- cal for the banking industry, particularly so for community banks who are increasingly the target of cyberattacks as they look to balance between regulatory burdens on capital and investing in IT security infra- structure. Phishing, spoofing and other cyberattacks are on the rise, accounting for over 92% of all breaches and the ma- jority of identity theft and financial fraud cases in 2019. Now, with the outbreak of COVID-19, bad actors are taking advan- tage of the panic, the chaos, the remote workers and the escalation of B2C email to ramp up their activities. We know you rely on us for information, and we want to be sure you can immedi- ately authenticate and trust all email and online interactions with us. To enhance our cybersecurity posture and to give you a visual cue for authenticating all in- teractions with us, we have transitioned our UBA.org website and emails over to utah.bank. From now on, you can be certain that the email is from us, not a phishing attack, and that the website is ours when you see “utah.bank.” We will always put the security of our member banks first, which is why our move to .bank was prioritized during this time of escalated cybersecurity threats. Please review these important changes regarding utah.bank: UBA WEBSITE Please bookmark the new UBA website address — utah.bank — for future use. Past links using Utah.org will redirect automatically to the new bank site. UBA EMAIL Please update your address book with UBA ’ s new emails: • Howard Headlee— howard@utah.bank • Becky Wilkes — bwilkes@utah.bank • Lindsay Scott — lindsay@utah.bank • Sara Matute — sara@utah.bank • Anna Dudley — anna@utah.bank Important note: Emails that you send to the former @uba.org will be forward- ed to the new .bank emails, but emails received from uba.org should be consid- ered suspicious. For questions and more information, please contact Sara Matute at sara@utah.bank or visit registar.bank. n
