Bank card hacking is becoming more and more dangerous. Therefore, those who use credit cards for payments or withdrawals should be very careful and protect their data.
Bank cards are the most common target of theft
Hackers go to great lengths to rob bank accounts. Ways are increasing thanks to the technological innovations we use every day and credit and debit cards are their main target! Many of us use it for contact and contactless payments. This is enough to make it even more interesting for fraudsters who want to get money easily from us.
Statistics show that almost 3% of frauds involve bank cards. During the last years, the victims suffered losses amounting to 37.2 million euros.
This is a real disaster for those who are used to using them for everyday payments.
If it's so easy for hackers to get money from us, it's mainly because of our secret codes. Some of them are quite common, so they're easy to guess. And if this also applies to your credit and debit cards, you need to be extra careful! You could be losing money without even realizing it!
Here is a list of codes you should not use
Fraudsters are used to guessing the secret codes of our bank cards. They are experienced in this and can try different combinations to rob us. Nick Berry from Meta revealed a list of codes that are easily cracked by cheaters. Most of them are common numbers, so be careful.
Be careful if the secret codes of your bank card are as follows:
1234, 1111, 0000, 1212, 7777, 1004, 2000, 4444, 2222 or 6969
These combinations are sometimes set by banking institutions as defaults. They usually recommend that you change them before using them. If you've forgotten, now is the time!
Experts also recommend avoiding secret passwords that involve your personal life.
For example, don't use your date of birth or address - these are easily identifiable and will be used by fraudsters to empty your bank cards!
What are the best passwords for your bank cards?
No idea for a new password? Here are the codes that will best protect your bank cards:
7063, 6093, 6827, 7394, 0859, 8957, 9480, 6793, 8398, 0738, 7637, 6835, 9629, 8093 or 8068.
These provide great security for your bank account.
Fraudsters rarely try to use these combinations to steal money from your credit cards. / Adapt Pamphlet from Newsbomb.gr /
