A new tablet, a wellness voucher or concert tickets - who wouldn't go for it? This is exactly what cyber criminals use to gain access to your personal data and banking information.
30.12.2025 –Therefore #watchout: Fake websites urge you to enter your name, street address, email address, passwords and even card details. This information helps cybercriminals to steal your identity and make purchases in your name.
Here’s how to protect yourself:
- Take a very close look at competitions on social media and in emails.
- Never disclose card or login details or your PIN to other people.
- Do not forward competitions of this sort to friends or acquaintances.
Have you already entered your details? Block your card immediately and inform your bank and card issuer.
