Backed by NCSC and part of Action Fraud's campaign.
The NCSC has launched a nationwide campaign to encourage people to set-up two-step verification on their most important accounts.
Part of Action Fraud’s Stop! Think Fraud campaign, it will encourage shoppers to protect their online accounts by setting up two-step verification on their devices.
Lord Hanson, Fraud Minister, said: “We know that more needs to be done to tackle online fraud. That’s why we are delighted to support initiatives like this, through the Stop! Think Fraud campaign, which [will] provide practical, actionable advice to the public to stay safe from scams.”
NCSC CEO Richard Horne said: “To stay protected, I strongly recommend following our online shopping guidance, including setting up two-step verification and creating memorable but secure passwords using three random words.”
