All it takes is one careless click – and before you know it, your personal information and thus your money – ends up in the wrong hands. Today marks the start of the second phase of the Card Security campaign. The goal of the campaign is to raise awareness of phishing among the general public.

L = Links and attachments must be questioned
I = Information must be carefully checked
N = Neutral greetings are suspect
D = Deadlines and urgency are fishy
A = Addresses must always be verified
Joining together with police forces and financial institutions throughout Switzerland, we are taking a stand for greater security. Share LINDA's messages and help protect your family, friends, and acquaintances against phishing.
