You suddenly receive a message from your card app asking you to confirm a payment. How do you react?

Korrekt I authorise the payment straight away and check later what it’s for.
Korrekt I become suspicious as I haven’t initiated any payment. I do not confirm the payment.
I haven’t actually ordered anything, but sometimes messages like that arrive late. I authorise payment.

Only authorise payments that you have initiated yourself. Always check the notifications in your card app carefully. Two-factor authentication is there to keep you safe. Report the incident to the card issuer immediately.
