Anyone can become a victim of a burglary, DNA recalls. Today, it is also more difficult to influence the victim, as information is in so many places, and even a reliable service may be subject to criminals.
You can also prepare for the fractures already by pre -limiting the amount of information shared, says DNA’s bulletin in charge of the company’s consumer business value -added services Heidi Hastasila. For example, when it comes to disclosing different information, consider whether the service really needs all the information it requested.
– It is not worth giving every place, for example, your own date of birth, but it is good to use common sense in what is really necessary for that service, says Hastastila.
According to Hastasila, it is also good to be more restrained than usual with the personal identification number and bank information sharing. Caution is also worthwhile with applications downloaded to the phone.
– For example, if the flashlight application requests permission to get into your photos, contact information or messages on the phone, you should ring the alarm clocks, says Hastastila.
Hastasla emphasizes that all information is worthwhile in the dark network market, and. Even harmless information can be harmful in the wrong hands.
Even harmless information, when combined with other information, can be harmful in the wrong hands. The motive for a burglary is almost always the pursuit or harm of economic benefits.
