As an IT company serving our customers’ security needs, we are very aware of the need for safety when shopping online for the holidays. Here are some tips we thought would be helpful for you and your business.
- Use reliable websites and vendors when shopping online. Malicious websites can easily steal your information.
- Check your bank statements often and beware of any questionable activity.
- Make sure that the website you are using has the Lock icon and that its URL starts with “https://,” the “s” indicating that it is secure.
- Don’t give away personal information that a store does not need, such as your birthday.
- Make sure you are secure with up-dated Antivirus and Anti-malware. See waytek.com for more on the best in Antivirus and Anti-malware.
- Change your passwords often on sites you frequently visit or use a password manager, such as Sticky Password, which is a form filler, too, saving you time as you shop.
