GENERAL SECURITY TIPS
- Avoid opening suspicious e-mails – if an e-mail seems suspicious or you cannot confirm the source of an e-mail, rather delete it.
- Only provide your credit card details to reputable companies.
- Do not make your passwords too personal – rather create passwords that have letters and numbers that cannot be attributed to you.
- Never provide your
accesscode or password/PIN to anyone, never write them down or share them, not even with a bank official. - Never provide your online ID or password/PIN to any site that you do not
recognise and fully trust. - To ensure that you are using a secure shopping site, look for the lock and key and security certificates online. This icon is not a guarantee of a secure
site, but might provide you some assurance. Don’t trust a site just because it claims to be secure - If you go directly to the site, check for indicators that the pages are secure, such as a padlock symbol at the bottom of the page and a URL that begins with “https” instead of “
http ”.
