Heartbleed Bug
Your personal and private information is of utmost importance to us.
Many of you may have heard of the Heartbleed internet bug. In a nutshell, the Heartbleed bug tricks a server into spilling out extra information from its memory. A server’s memory often includes sensitive personal information, such as your passwords, credit card numbers, and other data you wouldn’t want anyone else to see.
Our research indicates that our services are not susceptible to the vulnerability.
Our best defense against internet bugs and scams is your vigilance in watching your accounts and monitoring your home computer. Please call if you have any suspicions or questions.
Bugs like Heartbleed also lead to an increase in phishing. This is where scammers email, call or text in an attempt to gain personal information from you. Please take extra precaution when dealing with;
- Any emails from companies imploring you to change your password or update account information.
- Any phone call that promises to fix your problem, but only if you give them passwords, account information or a credit card right now.
- Any text message from an unknown number
Thank you for trusting us with your personal information. We appreciate your business.

Target says its data breach may affect 40 million accounts. While it’s always a good idea to monitor your account activity for any unusual purchases or transactions, this is especially true if you interacted with Target during that three-week period.
If you see something unusual in your account, immediately call the number on the back of your card to request assistance. Customers with Nicolet National Bank debit cards can call the fraud line after hours and weekends at 800-554-8969. Nicolet credit card holders can call 800-558-3424.

We are receiving reports that our customers are receiving fraudulent calls stating their card has been deactivated. Nicolet Bank would never call requesting this, so please ignore the request from the caller.

Please be aware that if you receive a text claiming that your debit card is going to be deactivated, please ignore it as this is a scam. Please be sure that you will only be contacted by an employee of the bank by phone if something was going to be happening to your account.
