Denmark’s MitID digital identity system has received updates designed to boost the security of its app and prevent scammers from gaining access to it.
The update, delivered by the Danish Agency for Digital Government in November, allows the app to perform a proximity check before allowing users to transfer MitID to a new device. Scammers have previously taken advantage of transfers to access accounts by convincing victims to share QR codes or screen recordings, enabling them to replicate the app on their own devices.
