THE SOME RULE YOU REMEMBER IN ONLINE TO DO ANY IMPORTANT THING


The bank will never ask you for your PIN, password, catch-phrase or anything like that.
Never disclose your password or PIN to anyone.
Always type in the address of your bank’s or credit card company’s website.
Use a secure password: not your date of birth, vehicle registration, telephone number or anything associated with you that someone might easily guess.
Use different passwords for different secure sites.
Check your bank and credit card statements immediately.
Always know where your passport, drivers licence and social security card is, and report them lost/stolen once you’re satisfied you cannot find them.
Properly destroy old utility bills, bank statements and any mail which is of a sensitive nature that may contain your name and address, or that could be used as identification to open an account or gain credit.
Keep your important documents in a secure place and keep records of your credit card number, as well as the number to report them lost/stolen. Remember you wouldn’t have the card!
This is not an in-depth list, but should serve to bring security and the ricks of fraud home to those who never gave it a second thought. There hundreds of different measures which can be taken to improve computer security and how to protect your private information, but that’s beyond the scope of this article.

Basically, be aware and educate yourself, get training; it costs money sure, think of it this way – a car sticker , which reads “If you think Education is expensive, try ignorance.”

If you’re interested to know more about online crimes (phishing), I encourage to look-up the term in Google, there you will find hundreds of websites with updated information on online crimes and identity theft. Please don’t be one of the many who say “I had no idea” or “If only I did know…
YOU SHOULD SEE THIS ONE TO YOUR FRIEND YOU SHARE THIS ONE USING THE TWITER OR FACEBOOK OR OTHER WAY.
