In its effort to offer clients solutions that minimize risk and strengthen its platforms, Bancamiga is advancing initiatives to create a safe and reliable environment, with a constant emphasis on awareness and individual caution.

Protect yourself from fraud!

Even with the adoption of cutting-edge technologies to safeguard the interests of clients and the bank, effective security requires active collaboration, where clients and the financial institution work hand in hand.

Direct Access, Virtual Lock, and ID Check are three of the most recent initiatives implemented by Bancamiga to enhance security.

With Direct Access, Bancamiga customers have an icon pinned to their desktop and taskbar, mitigating the risk of accessing pages with malicious links.

Installing Direct Access is very simple: log in to Bancamiga Online (www.bancamiga.com), enter your credentials and dynamic password. A pop-up window will appear; click “Install” and confirm. The shortcut will automatically be created on your desktop, with the option to also add it to the taskbar.

Virtual Lock is another tool that increases security by temporarily blocking the use of card data for online purchases, preventing unauthorized access. It is activated through Bancamiga Online or Bancamiga Suite before a transaction and deactivated upon completion.

Another initiative promoted by Bancamiga is ID Check, an extra layer of security with codes generated by the app for online purchases.

Bancamiga warns: Beware of fake websites!

Through informational campaigns, Bancamiga constantly promotes recommendations that emphasize proactive prevention and the use of its security tools.

Among its frequent tips are the following:

1. Type www.bancamiga.com directly into your browser.

2. Avoid clicking on links in emails, SMS messages, or search engines to avoid falling for fake websites.

3. Do not reply to or provide confidential information (username, password, CVV) via email, WhatsApp, or phone calls. Bancamiga never requests this information through these channels.

4. Keep the Virtual Lock closed when you are not making online purchases.

5. Activate biometric authentication (fingerprint or face) and 2FA in the app for extra protection.

6. Download apps only from official stores (Google Play/App Store).
7. Check your account activity regularly.

8. Use strong passwords (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, symbols) and change them regularly. Do not reuse the same password on multiple sites.

In a blog post, Microsoft announced the discontinuation of Windows activation by phone. Activation will now be done online through the new product activation portal.

According to the company, this measure is part of the activation model for permanent licenses, which aims to strengthen security and reliability, as well as “prevent potential fraud.”

This means that the automated phone activation process has been eliminated in favor of a new activation portal, which also offers offline capabilities.

According to the press release, “the product activation portal is compatible with both connected and unconnected devices and offers a modern, optimized interface for all users.”

Katharine Holdsworth, Microsoft Partner Group Product Manager, told The Verge that users do not need an internet connection on the computer where they want to activate the product license, but accessing the online portal does require another connected device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or another PC.
