Norway’s Remote Islands at Risk: Experts Warn of Identity Theft Threats
Financial Transactions in Svalbard and Jan Mayen Under Scrutiny
As digital transactions become the norm, Norway’s remote islands of Svalbard and Jan Mayen are vulnerable to sophisticated identity theft scams. Residents and tourists alike rely on online banking due to limited access to digital services, making them an easy target for scammers.

The isolated nature of these islands poses a significant challenge for financial institutions aiming to prevent identity theft:
