Watch out for yourself and your loved ones
We can all take care of our loved ones by sharing information about online scams and by helping them to use MyKanta to ensure that they log in securely. However, please remember that everyone must use their own credentials and not share them with others.
Phishing attempts can target people of all ages, so we all need to be vigilant when managing affairs online.
