Do you have a Samsung? Photo: PexelsThen you should avoid using Swish and BankID
If you use BankID, Swish and bank apps, it is important that your mobile is security updated and that you do so as often as possible.
Otherwise, the phone becomes less secure and the risk of being hacked becomes significantly greater. Therefore, you should avoid using payment and banking apps if your mobile is not up to date.
