National Campaign: “LINDA protects against phishing!”


This year's Card Security campaign starts today. "LINDA protects against phishing!" is the slogan. Fisherwoman LINDA helps card users to protect themselves against card fraud. You too can spread LINDA's messages!

01.06.2026 –

Each letter of LINDA's name stands for a mnemonic that can be used to prevent phishing.

L = Links and attachments are not to be trusted
I = Information must be carefully checked
N = Neutral forms of address are suspect
D = Deadlines and urgency are fishy
A = Addresses must always be verified

Police forces and financial institutions throughout Switzerland are taking part in the campaign to raise awareness of phishing and card fraud. There is also an online quiz with an attractive competition on our website.

You too can spread LINDA's messages. In this way, you will help to make the general public more aware of the issue and actively protect themselves against card fraud.
