I received an email yesterday for my Maybank2u online banking account saying that maybank is recently suffered a DDos-Attack on one of their Online Banking server.

For security reasons we must complete the next steps to verify the integrity of my Maybank2u online banking account. If we fail to complete the verification in the next 24 hours your account will be suspended.

At first I was thinking what is that? I mean I never expect I too will received this email from maybank2u online banking. I was a bit worry on the limited access as most of the online banking owner knew that this is the major maybank payment account we use online. Later I found out this appeared to be one of the phishing email that not really sent out by Maybank (according to the whois record). following is the email screenshot.

When you click on the link, you will be sending to a URL look quite similar like maybank2u online banking template. and will ask you to login using your username and password. PLEASE DO NOT ENTER YOUR DETAIL AND Inorge it anyway. Else, they will be stolen your detail, relogin afterward and draw out your money from your maybank2u banking account.
