Security Alert! 

You may have been made aware of the recent Heartbleed Bug that has been the focus of many news reports on your home television, favorite internet site or just about anywhere. The bug, nicknamed Heartbleed, is a vulnerability in websites using OpenSSL that allows hackers to steal information such as user names/passwords and private keys sites used to encrypt and decrypt sensitive data. Applications such as web, email, instant messaging (IM) or some virtual private networks (VPNs) are among the affected.

In light of this recent security breach, Shirley Inscoe a senior analyst at Aite Group, commented that "Most consumers use the same passwords for many different applications, including their online banking. If, for example, they use Facebook, Yahoo email, or other systems, and their login credentials are compromised, fraudsters can use bots to test various bank sites with the credentials until they find one that works. At that point, the customer may be the victim of account takeover, and need to notify their bank concerning fraudulent activity."

Queenstown Bank of Maryland is working with our vendors to address any OpenSSL vulnerabilities. As a precaution, we are recommending that you take measures to change your E-Sure Banking (Online Banking) password. This action by you will help defend against fraudsters in the event that the AccessID/Password combination used is the same as another site that could have been compromised.
