“123456” – is that your password? No doubt you will get closely acquainted with some cyber-criminals soon! You can find out how to protect your access options properly with the help of our new S-U-P-E-R campaign.
The S-U-P-E-R campaign is launched all over Switzerland by the Nationales Zentrum für Cybersicherheit (NCSC), the Schweizerische Kriminalprävention (SKP) and also in co-operation with “eBanking – but secure!”. It explains how you can effectively protect your devices and access options against anyone else gaining access.

This might be a code sent to your mobile phone or generated directly on your device.
