Only surrender personal data, such as passwords, social security numbers and account numbers, to someone via email or to Web sites if
- you know exactly who the recipient is, and
- you are able to encrypt your email or send it over an encrypted line to their Web site
Verify the data in the recipient’s certificate
If you can send encrypted email to someone, you will be able to check their data in the certificate you receive from them. Precisely how depends on your email program. This information will typically be available through your program’s online help.
Check for an encrypted line
The address line must show "https" instead of "http", the "s" being short for secure, or there should be a padlock icon in the bottom right hand corner of your Internet Explorer.
If you double-click on the padlock, you can check the certificate to see who issued it and to whom was it issued. The key in the certificate is used to encrypt the Internet connection.
Danske Bank will never ask for personal data via the Internet unless these requirements are met.
