Here are some steps you can take when using online banking:
- Develop secure, unique passwords for your banking accounts. Make sure to avoid any personal information such as birth dates and addresses.
- Monitor your accounts regularly for suspicious activity.
- Install and frequently update anti-virus and anti-malware software on your computer.
- Keep your wireless network secure by using encryption and a shared password that’s difficult for anyone else to guess.
- Trust your instincts. Look out for emails and online posts that seem suspicious or too good to be true.
- Do not click on suspicious links or attachments.
