Debit cards are one of the most popular means of payment in Switzerland. Due to the new possible applications in e-commerce, card security is becoming increasingly important. As part of a prevention campaign, SIX is releasing an informative short film together with the banks that issue debit cards. This film provides helpful tips on effectively preventing card fraud through phishing.
19.07.2021 –19.07.2021 – SIX raises awareness about phishing attacks on debit cards through an informative explanatory film. The video contains concrete tips on how such card fraud can be avoided.
In phishing, perpetrators try to obtain confidential information from debit card holders via fake websites, emails or instant messages. They ask their potential victims to provide information such as card numbers or PINs, they’re asked to confirm them online or modify them. To do this, the fraudsters forge websites or email senders in an extremely professional manner and deliberately deceive their potential victims.
The short film by SIX starts off exactly where the deception begins: It provides information and simple tips to protect yourself from phishing attacks.
The phishing short film was produced in German, Italian and French.
