I sign in to my Nusenda credit union account every day. Today, using the shortcut on my Firefox home page, the login page looked a little different. I showed my user name with the first and last letter and stars between, which was normal, so I started to type in my password, then stopped because the page looked different and there were lines of type above the blank areas I hadn't seen before. I called Nusenda and was told the page I described was not authentic. I deleted the shortcut block. I can find no way to notify Firefox of this possible hack.

Sorry--a typo in my entry. At the end of the second line, "I" should be "It."

Remove the bad shortcut, then create a new one by starting from the site's homepage.
