ORIGINAL POSTER
Potential Transferwise Hacker Alert

I have been using (Transfer)Wise for several years now. Same bank account, routine transfers twice a month.

Suddenly they require I re-verify account. No warning, no explanation, nothing. My bank account is in good standing.

I reached out to Transferwise and have not yet heard back.

The thing is this. Hackers will pretend to be another site and ask you to log-in (re-verify), the user then enters their account details into the compromised site, effectively given their account details to the hackers. Its a common hacker technique. The site asking for my details was some third party site, with Transferwise logos.

If this was legitimately Transferwise I would think they would have given some pre-notice. "Your will need to re-verify in 90 day, 60 days, etc" Also because I have been using them for so long and never needed to re-verify in the past I am concerned about my account details.

I encourage anybody using Transferwise change your password, verify that your account integrity.
