Heartbleed Bug
Gate City Bank takes the security of your personal information very seriously. You may have heard about the “Heartbleed” bug that could affect the security of the communication on websites and is a defect in the encryption technology – OpenSSL. This bug can put your personal information at risk. Gate City Bank has verified with our Online Banking provider and they have confirmed we are not susceptible to this vulnerability.
To protect yourself, experts suggest changing passwords for the websites you use. These should include e-mail, social media, bank accounts, credit card online access, and others. Also, we suggest to change your passwords frequently, utilize strong passwords that are not easy to guess, and do not use the same password on multiple sites.
Gate City Bank will continue to monitor customer’s accounts utilizing our fraud monitoring systems. Please monitor your own account as well for any unauthorized transactions and let the Bank know immediately if you suspect any unusual activity.
