NatWest resumes normal service after phishing scare

The UK's NatWest has resumed normal service on the Internet after temporarily shutting down its online banking site following an attempted e-mail scam.

The bank suspended service at its site on Monday morning after some customers received spam e-mails urging them to upgrade their account information at a bogus Web address.

A bank spokeswoman says that no customers appear to have lost any money as a result of the attempted fraud and that the site shut-down was a temporary precaution.

NatWest was last hit by a similar 'phishing' expedition in October, during a rash of e-mail frauds targeting UK banks.
