Therefore, Ludmila discusses cybersecurity and cyber hygiene, where the most important security principles remain simple: always read the Smart-ID confirmation message before entering your PIN, never disclose your PIN1 or PIN2 codes to anyone, and keep both the Smart-ID app and your phone’s operating system up to date. These everyday habits are the most effective way to protect your digital identity and your financial security.
