An oversight can unlock your most sensitive information
A cybercriminal attempting to access an account doesn't always act by force. They often act like a good investigator: they observe, gather clues, and take advantage of any misstep. And if your passwords fall into the wrong hands, they could gain complete access to your data and your money.
That's why identifying risks and acting preventively is key for your digital security.
What can happen if you give away a password?
- Direct access to online banking and unauthorised transactions.
- Changes to security details and account lockout.
- Application for financial products in the victim’s name.
- Identity theft on other services with the same password.
- Access to personal information that can be used for further fraud.
