Problems online are increasingly frequent

You may recognize one or more of these situations from your own experience, or have heard about them because someone you know has been affected by something similar. Problems related to our use of the internet are becoming ever more common. Unfortunately, the number of issues arising from internet use is increasing just as fast as our need for digital services.

What can you do to defend yourself?

It doesn’t matter if it’s an inadvertent error, or a malicious attack − the damage which results can often be considerable, for your wallet, your reputation or both. But what should you do to protect yourself from the consequences of incidents such as these? How can you defend yourself? Help comes in the form of private legal protection insurance, with internet cover included.
