Keep your PC safe
As the economy becomes increasingly digital, it is the computer, mobile phone and other digital devices that need to be protected, rather than the wallet. To do so, you'll need:
- Install an antivirus program and keep it up to date
- Install a firewall
- Update operating system and browser when new versions are available
- Do not download images, movies, games, and programs from unknown websites
- Always log out when you are done with your banking
- Pay extra attention to pop-up pages that look strange or if you are asked to provide personal information
Technology that helps
Digital services are becoming safer and more secure. There are also several smart services that can help reduce risks in everyday life. Here are some great tips:
Protect yourself against ID theft with the Swedish Tax Agency's e-service
On the Swedish Tax Agency's website, you can reduce the risk of ID hijacking by blocking unauthorized change of address. This reduces the risk of someone using your personal data for fraud and identity hijacking. By locking your address on a change of address, you can also protect yourself against someone unauthorised changing your address, storing or forwarding your mail.
Get a digital mailbox
If you join KIVRA digital mailbox, you will receive digital letters from companies and authorities, including from UC. This way, you will quickly find out if a fraudster, for example, is trying to take out a loan in your name. Read more about Kivra.
