Working with LINDA to combat phishing


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.

15.09.2026 –

LINDA, a fisherwoman, uses five simple tips to show how to recognize and prevent card fraud:

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.
