In a digital environment where every click leaves a trace, protecting computers, mobile phones, and tablets is essential.
Cybercriminals don't always force their way in; often, they gain access through careless practices, outdated apps, or unsecure connections.
Avoid reusing passwords or including personal information. Combine letters, numbers and symbols, and update them regularly. Whenever possible, enable two-step verification.
Enable automatic updates for your operating system and all your applications. This helps protect your device against potential vulnerabilities.
When you're away from home, try to use your mobile data whenever you can. Open networks can become an entry point for fraud attempts.
Don't install apps from unknown links or unverified websites. A download from an unreliable source may compromise your security.
If something makes you unsure—an app, a message or a pop-up warning—don't act without checking it. Your best defence is critical thinking.
Scams are often disguised as emergencies or threats. Be especially wary
of any urgent requests for details or payments.
Keep calm, use your common sense, and if you think you might be a victim of fraud, get in touch with CaixaBank immediately through the official channels: Adviser Space or by calling 938 87 25 25.
