Credit card fraud is more prevalent in today’s online shopping world than ever. Fortunately, there are several ways you can protect yourself from such scams:
- Look for ‘https’: This is one indicator that the website you are shopping on is secure. You can also look for the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar. This indicates that your information is being transmitted securely on an encrypted website.
- Keep your password updated and strong: A strong password that is regularly updated makes it difficult for hackers to crack it. Use a combination of symbols, numbers, and letters. Avoid using any personal information that could be easily guessed.
- Update older software: Ensure that your browser, operating system, and other software are up to date. This can prevent hackers from exploiting any vulnerabilities.
- Review statements regularly: Regularly assess your credit card statements to ensure there have been no unauthorised charges. If any suspicious activity is noticed, report it to your bank or credit card company immediately.
