Description: 1. Monitor your accounts regularly. Check your bank statements to make sure there are no suspicious transactions or unauthorized withdrawals.
2. Secure your accounts with strong passwords. Avoid common words, phrases, or numbers and use a unique combination of letters, numbers, and characters.
3. Keep your personal information secure. Don’t provide your account information to anyone over the phone, online, or through email unless you have confirmed that they are legitimate.
4. Update your antivirus software and firewalls. Be sure to keep these up to date to protect yourself from online threats.
5. Use online banking services securely. Look out for the padlock on your browser’s address bar and make sure it’s valid before entering passwords.
6. Keep your mobile banking apps updated. Some apps not only require you to update them, but will also alert you if someone tries to log in from another device.
7. Consider using two-factor authentication when logging into your accounts. This requires you to enter an additional code as a way to authenticate yourself as the true owner.
8. If you notice any suspicious activity, contact your bank immediately and report any potential fraud. Your bank can help you secure your account and recover any lost funds.
