What Is the New Twint Cyber Threat in 2025?
Cyber threats continue to evolve in 2025. A major concern is a phishing campaign targeting Twint users across Switzerland. Attackers send fake emails urging victims to “verify” their details or risk an account blockage. The aim is simple. Criminals want credit card information and personal data.
ZENDATA CEO, Steven Meyer, was interviewed by RTS on the topic here.
How Does the Twint Phishing Scam Work?
The scam relies on urgency. Users receive a warning about a fake app issue. They click a link and enter sensitive details. The site looks legitimate, but it is controlled by cybercriminals. Twint payments arrive automatically, so any message asking for confirmation is suspicious. These tactics exploit busy moments and early-morning routines when people pay less attention.
What Does This Mean for Twint Users in 2025?
The Twint users cyber threat shows how fast phishing attacks adapt. It signals a shift to more personalised scams. Attackers watch behaviour patterns and target moments when people are distracted. The rise of new technologies also increases risks. Even emerging devices like humanoid household robots create privacy concerns if poorly secured.
How Can Users Protect Themselves Against the Twint Phishing Threat in 2025?
Protection starts with awareness.
- Never confirm a Twint payment to receive money.
- Always check the amount, the recipient, and the transaction type.
- Verify suspicious messages through a second channel.
- Slow down before you tap.
- If you fall victim, contact your bank and file a report with Suisse ePolice. These steps limit financial loss and prevent ongoing misuse of your data.
